The design of Kylau Common Space combines modern and natural elements, reflecting the dynamic yet culturally rich character of the building itself. The façade uses natural materials such as sand textured walls, row of plants and natural stone which not only blends well with the surrounding environment but also emphasizes its uniqueness.

Glass is installed along the façade to provide interaction between pedestrian and the visitors. The use of glass also provides natural lighting to the room. The entrance is designed into a prominent accent in the form of a semi-outdoor hallway located under the floating façade, creating a short yet memorable journey into the building.

The building is divided into two main masses, united by one roof and a stainless bridge. This massing gives the impression of a wider space and also creates interaction from the first to the second floor. The skylight at the center of the building functions as a divider. It also captures natural sunlight to create shades that continue to move as the day progresses, reducing the need to use artificial lights.

The stairs as the only main vertical circulation of Kylau Common Space are located in the middle of the building below the stainless bridge, directly facing the main entrance. This will create interesting and unique light reflection during the day, becoming a focal point of the design. Several voids are also created in various corners of the room to provide good air circulation throughout the building.

The interior of Kylau mostly combines raw and natural materials such as plywood and stone with modern materials such as stainless steel and glass. This combination provides variety and unique atmosphere.
