The wedge-shaped building sits atop a concrete pier that rises 35 feet (10.6 metres) above the water. The elevated position enables the building to withstand seasonal flooding which can leave the shoreline completely submerged.

“建筑的设计位于最大预期洪水线之上 。 ”建筑师说 ， “当水面上升并淹没周围的景观时 ， 建筑仍然能正常投入使用 。 ”

建筑采用直线设计 ， 搭配玻璃幕墙 ， 人们可欣赏到广阔的水景 。 建筑上方是一个由穿孔金属制成的角形护罩 ， 有助于隔绝部分太阳热量 ， 并使建筑物具有雕塑般的轮廓 。

\"The building was designed to sit above the maximum anticipated flood line\" the team said. \"While the water rises and submerges the surrounding landscape the building remains accessible and fully functional.\"
