Its design theme is　“reflection of various color ”. The building uses six primary colors in interior, exterior, furniture and signs. The composition of these colors reflects embracing diversity that we regard as the primal concept of medical and welfare.

The frontal facade consists of the composition of primal colors. The checker board patterned steel porous folded plates layered in front of it make the facade rich and ephemeral.
