The building is pitched out to the north to touch the sun whilst orientating away from the prevailing southwest wind.
On arrival, patrons are met with a large black decorative screen. Its simple, geometric pattern is a rich and textural tapestry to provide an interesting focal point.

Moving through the mingling spaces you notice a contraction and expansion happening between the spaces, before a large glazed area opens to an expansive deck where opaque Perspex sits behind a black screen providing diffused light from the opposite side.
