The building's design focuses upon daylighting and sustainability -- rather than covering the entire building in glass, the architects skinned it in a locally sourced wood envelope punctuated with aperture-like windows. An integrated ventilation, heating and lighting system allows the building to reduce its energy use by 50%.
