The straight lines that work their way up and down towards the blue as if a mad mathematician‘s gone nuts with his angles or an architect with his angle ruler.

The tufts of vegetation on the outside belong in a desert arid landscape. I can’t help but thinking of Australia when I look at the mangled metal mess in its earthy rusty red.
On the inside, the light wood, the light streaming in from the mostly glass walls that surround the place inspires a clear mind.
The colour scheme of red and yellow chairs brings back memories of kindergarten where it all began.
