- Used a solid and simple form to make a powerful and safe feeling, then added some curve roofs to soften the design shape. The primary goal was to create harmony with the surrounding by extending a sloping roof to the corner ground. Thus, the futuristic and modern form was born. Also, the interior has fluid and corner shapes, warm colors, and unique floor materials to make a cozy feel and the second conventional area brings up the viewer's eye level and presents different points of view.
