The modern concrete structure is designed as four stacked boxes. The lower two boxes form outdoor galleries and an indoor gallery.

The box in the middle is a smaller exhibition room, and the box at the top is a private workshop and living space for the artist in residence.{{cite web

The building has been described as "quintessentially Japanese, yet also strangely oversized and villa-like, as it extends the built vocabulary of the school with its clear-cut concrete edges".

According to Momoyo Kaijima, one of the architects, "We tried to obtain a fusion between space and light, in a way to create 'gap spaces', that is the leftover spaces in between the four boxes which bring light into the building".{{cite web
