The design group wanted to create a clinic that would bring change to the streetscape using the context of roofs, trees, and landscaping. 

The triangular roof brings change to the streetscape, and the transparent facade under the roof illuminates the city.

By seamlessly connecting the exterior and interior, the slanted eaves that extend deeply from the interior space create a scene that fluidly narrows the view.

The architect hoped that the diagonal openings give various scenes to the interior space and that the triangular roofs that are connected to each other brightly illuminate the entire city, thereby creating a stir in this land that is becoming standardized, and helping to create something new.
