The building's design incorporates a distinctive trapezoidal motif, inspired by its central location on the plateau. This pattern is intricately crafted on the facade using specialized formwork, stainless steel, and cast concrete, creating a visually striking composition.The trapezoidal theme extends throughout the building, shaping the spatial experience with rhythmic wall columns and tile patterns. The common staircase showcases grated treads illuminated by the trapezoidal motif, evoking the effect of sunlight through leaves.
