The structure is constructed using balloon framing. The chosen material is timber. The rhythmic facade varies depending on the amount of privacy desired for the function behind the facade. The maximum style restaurant is a fine dining restaurant. This type of restaurant desires more privacy so the spacing of the columns is closer together and the rhythm is faster. On the otherhand, the cooking school wants to show their work to the public so the spacing is farther apart and the rhythm is slower. The columns gradually tilt and the roof surface undulates primarily to allow optimal daylighting for the center spine as well as for experiential and visual purposes.
