Designed to present a variety of spaces for musical activities, the building’s structure is geometrically spread out along the site. The music hall is placed in the southwest part of the building, creating a space for circulation between the interior and exterior of the site: forming a relationship between the foyer and entrance hall with surrounding undulating hills. Atop, residential space is designed with a volume shape in an effect of mountainous topography, shifted along the north-south axis of the site — symbolic to this project’s facility in connection to the temple.
