Merry Chirstmas

I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas using the picture of a very cool project finished this year.

This building has a very interesting language. It wishes to accommodate and fit in with the buildings surrounding it while at the same time standing out and maintaining its uniqueness.
If one pays attention to the materials used we can see that wood and glass windows are also used, resembling the buildings adjoining it. But, these materials are used in a completely different way. Wood panels have been used vertically instead of horizontally, and the windows reach from floor to ceiling. The lines of the roof and walls create odd angles giving the building a unique and modern appearance. The architects have respected the architecture of the buildings adjoining it, and so created a building that, despite its contemporary form, does not eclipse the others beside it.
