It is the farthest building in a long and narrowing block of buildings immediately next to the water. It almost appears as a slender boat between the water and the narrow, curvilinear street behind. Closed off from the street, the building’s southward façade overlooking the water is entirely open. While the façade covered with a wooden grid conceals the building’s interior, it allows full sight of the outside from within. Seen from the other bank, the building recalls a boat or a pier, particularly with the effect created by the wooden grids.

The light sifting through the windows and its reflection on the water turns the building into spectacular cage of light at nighttime.
