The design follows the terrain and blends with the neighboring residential areas. It reduces the linear feeling, common to such projects and creates a stimulating environment. Security was not forgotten as the lines of sight offer superior functionality in a facility where supervision is critical. This is an excellent example of how design can create an environment conductive to
