The same technique has been used to make the trees transparent figures to show the architectural elements behind them. The design of both elevation is based on the idea of solid and transparent between ground floor and upper floor giving the sense of lifting the upper floor by the cylinder columns, while the central glass dome appears to be the focal point.
