For the first glance, the solid concrete box welcomes guest by the high ceiling chamber with the skylight that invited the natural light to the sculptural floating staircase. People can stand in the center of the court to notice the sun light gradually changed on the concrete central shaft wall as the main attraction to display itself as a living artwork due to the changing of daylight during the day.

Continuing to the second floor, the central light shaft wall has irregular position and size of square window frames to allow people to wonder as the living artwork by displaying the changing of daily light on the concrete canvas on each side of the shaft that also allow the light through to brighten up the inside space. Obviously, the imperfect concrete form-tile which created the unique characteristic of this private gallery along with the steel, wood and glass – the purity of material tend to remind people of craft-work.
