What is unique about this building is that like the site we were given it is designed for a narrow site. With the site being narrow this building used it to its advantage by composing its geometry and colour in order to make the space feel bigger than it actually is.
Openings from small courtyards are used to absorb light into the building. The openings are usually vertical as the two building from either side block of any source of the light from an angle.
The use of exterior courtyard draws light and with the surrounding walls tilted to an angle the light is able to reflect into the interior.
The division of exterior and interior is ambiguous therefore making the people who interact with the space feel like if they are in a more spacious space because an exterior space will have direct access to natural light and the open sky therefore making the space seem bigger than it actually is.
