The concert hall is located in the center of the building, while offices, art ateliers, a library and a learning centre are located on the periphery of the building to allow for daylight and natural ventilation. The four main materials used in the building are stainless steel, wood, concrete and glass, with most of the interior walls using Oriented strand board (OSB) wood.
