This steel-framed building is surrounded by a semi-circular RC wall with a diameter of 50m, which is open to the sea, and is full of glass and transparency. The building stands on a slope, and a small entrance in the RC wall leads to the courtyard, where the LDK overlooks the Pacific Ocean. In order to emphasize the transparency of the building, the openings were detailed to reduce the visibility as much as possible.
