The building exterior features predominantly light, neutral colours for an image that suits the professional staff working inside, unlike the warmer colours chosen for many public buildings. External walls are white-, grey- and sand-coloured and feature a range of textures.

Plant rooms at the base and top of the building feature louvre walls to conceal machinery and add horizontal line texture.

The design team and the construction team are repeatedly reminded of the requirement that there should be no exposed pipe and the lines of alol finishing works shall be aligned.

With the carefule use of the louver cladding system and other detailing techniques, all the transformer rooms, generator rooms, pump rooms, A/C plant rooms, are skillfully concealed and tidied up to harmonize with the elevation of the building.
