The new building is a sharp black mass, designed to be a silhouette on the horizon. It is a robust exterior wrapped with a restricted palette, devoid of fussy detail. To mark out the entrance this toughness is inverted using a warmer timber cladding finish on a plane that cuts in to the stark geometry.
