The first impression of the building was designed to be the arches wall that developed from the flow line that connects both circles together. As I would like the building to blend in with the surroundings, I designed the column as a sculpted pillar with Victorian architecture as same as the surroundings. Also because of the activity in the building is clay art, I used red terracotta cladding as a facade material to make the design stand out. However, on the inner layer of the arches, I reduced the details of the column and applied fewer details on the column to balance out the whole building, adding on with light-tone sandstone cladding. The Arches wall not only covers one side of the building but also extends out to curve with the below circle, creating a continuation of the design to the landscape. The building's design mimics the first two stories in a traditional style and has a glass house on top to add more greenery to the space, while still not going over the average height of surrounding buildings. Another highlight feature is the curved cylinder roof which is designed to be seen from the ground floor and across the street, as well as the circle on the ground that reveals the activities in the basement level. The building is designed to be four stories, one as a basement to extend the usage area and three above the ground.
