The architectural firm divided the building into several sections for children, teens, and adults. Each section has its own distinctive look that can be easily differentiated once you have entered the building. For instance, the children’s area is covered with wooden structure and has a distinctive pavilion defined by the colors of blue, magenta, and green.
