While the dark, vertical stone gives the building much of
its character, Egeraat varied the plan of each floor to create
overhangs that further create shadow lines. With the intended
effect, the building's image would change with the weather
and the time of day. Given that the building is oriented with
the longest elevation facing the canal, playing with the exteriors
materials (wood frames provide a pleasant contrast to the
stone and gray aluminum) and depth is appropriate.
