The design splits the building vertically, so that at ground floor there are a series of stone walls with lightweight glazed infil panels. At first floor, a black vertical staggered board cladding is incorporated with a series of slot windows to the rooms over. The building has a slate roof with concealed gutters and a ridge lantern light over the central stairwell.
