Rumah-kantor ini menampilkan dua massa bangunan yang berkantilever menyerupai kontainer, memberikan kesan bangunan yang “mengambang”. Fasadnya dirancang dengan tampilan minimalis, memperlihatkan paduan warna-warna netral. Rancangan interiornya didominasi oleh penggunaan material kayu, batu, beton dan kaca. Pada lantai pertama, area indoor, semi-outdoor, dan outdoor dirancang secara berdampingan, menciptakan transisi yang halus antar-ruang. Serangkaian pohon bambu berbaris di sepanjang taman, bersama dengan kolam, menghadirkan nuansa alam. Kemudian, area kerja dirancang untuk memiliki bukaan yang tak hanya memberikan pemandangan taman belakang, tapi juga memungkinkan penghawaan alami untuk mengurangi pemakaian energi dan menciptakan ruang kerja yang sehat.
