The drive up the ramped building, in being nondescript of space and place, preludes the surprise of arriving on the sixth floor to an unexpected calm oasis that is a water court. Over the quiet expanse of water the eye travels to a low skyline of architecture whose forms, proportions, junctions and surfaces are softened by both material elements and atmosphere.

The experience of spaces—really of water, bark, stone, light and open air that verge on various dining, lounge, work and social spaces is intensified by the counterpoint of this being an industrial site.
