                            Come Sail Away With Me!!!   

Come sail away with me is exactly what this building is saying to me. In fact, it takes my imagination for a spin  thinking about all the places I would explore on this magical vessel. The smooth angular flowing motion of the walls mimics the shape a sail of a sailboat cutting through the water. I find that the ambient upward lighting masks the stilts and therefore further indulges my imagination!
