The responsibility and self-reliance become a central thing for the building design. The building orientation is also enhanced by the design of its interior. The whole overview of the building monitoring stations is used maximally.

The design is integrated with the security aspects in a clear appearance. Some functions inside the building like a gym, shop, meditation center, and workrooms have their own unique color. The room presence feels so clear to be seen.
