The fundamental design strategy involves the incorporation of a fragment of an industrial building now existing on the site with new buildings located to the South and to the North of the existing building, so that the existing building becomes the centerpiece of the new museum complex. Visitors will enter the complex through a new central entry plaza that is flanked on both sides by the new buildings.

The existing building consists of 3,425 square meters and includes the lobby for the complex and a retail store on the ground level, as well as galleries and a furniture testing area on the upper levels.

The original character of the existing building have been maintained. The exterior of both new buildings will be clad in brick and stainless steel.
