The award winning design has wing like roofs which gradually rise out of the landscape creating a sense of movement and providing a striking and dynamic building. The design has also been prepared on sustainable principles, orientating the building to maximise on solar gain, utilising natural daylight and ventilation throughout, while the oversailing roofs provide solar shading in the summer months.
