Light strips extend from the exterior into the interior, marking circulation, dividing areas and forming frames. The ground floor holds the lobby, office rooms, a meeting room, a kitchen and a bar, and the upper floors hold staff rooms and storage. Damaged walls were repaired and plumbing pipes were rearranged.
