On the outside wall, Bright Dip Anodized Aluminum panels are framed by the surrounding concrete on each floor. On the elevations facing the intersecting roads their bright surfaces reflect the beautiful cherry blossom during the sakura season as well as the changing colors of the sky during the rest of the year. People passing by are able to experience the sur-rounding natural phenomena in the reflections. As the seasons pass and the quality of the light changes, the building’s face follows in kind.
