The new cultural landmark is designed by the Japanese architect Fumihiko Maki and it houses the first overseas outpost of the Victoria & Albert Museum. The building features a three-story hall and exhibition galleries with high-ceilings which allow for dramatic architectural exhibitions.

The main priority for the design team was to have a discreet acoustic plaster ceiling that would not draw the attention away from the exhibitions due to its seamless design.
