A seeded green roof hides the building from the adjacent tower blocks. The entrances address a square to the north, and sunlight and meeting area to the south. Golden sunrise metal gates and sinuous window grills complement the brilliant blue masonry paintwork and orange soffits. A timber frame using the Fillcrete breathing wall system is clad in concrete block and render for high security. Natural linoleum, and clay quarry tiles and multicoloured organic and natural paints finish the interior.
