The main wall is made of recycled stone fragments, and the art wall is finished with Italian eco-friendly paints. A hidden metal structure supports a 30 kilogram Bodhisattva sculpture. Natural light, energy efficient LED lighting, thermal insulating materials and air-purifying plants improve comfort.
