Elsewhere on the exterior, green-tinted
glass and standing-seam, galvanized metal prevails. What appears
to be random masses and openings
is the product of a complex composition that connects the
interior and exterior spaces. Double-height spaces on the
upper floor add variety to the overall mass but also help
form play areas on the roof. An outdoor play area at grade
provides the best glimpse of the architect's sensitivity to
the site: a large, existing walnut tree is wrapped by the
building, in a gesture that preserves the tree while indicating
the subservient role of the building to nature.
