半透明的U型玻璃在白天将光线柔和地带入接收区域，并在夜间进行照明。在与光线和空气半透明玻璃通道的合同，白色搪瓷金属面板包裹屋顶和正面作为一笔。从视觉上看，它将形式锚定在地面上。白色搪瓷金属面板延伸到接收区域的内部，形成一个连贯的纯白色空间。

The translucent U Channel glass brings light softly into the reception area during the day and illuminates during the night. In contracts with the light and air translucent glass channel, white enamel metal panel wraps the roof and façade as one stroke. Visually it anchors the form down to the ground. The white enamel metal panels extend into the interior of the reception area to form a coherent pure white space.

经过这条漫长而纯净的入口大厅后，你在一个8米高的垂直空间里，在开始欣赏展出的艺术品之前，创造了一种准备的感觉。通过在这个垂直空间附近输入一个正式的“白色方框”，它将显示一个起点。

After passing through this long and pure entry hall way, you are in an eight meter high vertical space which creates a sense of readiness before start viewing the exhibited art pieces. By entering a formal “white box” adjacent to this vertical space, it demarks a starting point.

为了最大限度地提高画廊空间的天花板高度，并给艺术展览带来灵活性，引入了一种开放式的格栅天花板，底层展览空间采用硬化混凝土地板材料，二、三层画廊空间采用叠层木地板，博物馆内部的设计采用最小的方法。它允许所有的艺术作品和产品在这个空间中得到充分的表达，这也鼓励了艺术作品和观众之间尽可能激烈的对话。三楼是如何艺术中心，其中包括如何商店，如何图书馆和一个小画廊空间。另一个“白盒”镶嵌在“Well Store”的出口点，它标志着观看旅程的终点。

In order to maximize the ceiling height for the gallery space as well as giving flexibility to art exhibition, an open grid ceiling is introduced.  Hardened concrete flooring material is used for the Ground floor exhibition space and laminated wood flooring is used for the 2nd and 3rd floor Gallery space.  The design of the museum interior takes a minimal approach. It allows all art pieces and products to be fully expressed in this space which also encourages an acute dialogue between art piece and viewers as much as possible.  The 3rd floor level houses HOW Art center which includes HOW store, HOW library and a small Gallery space. Another “White box ”insets at the exit point of the HOW Store which marks the end point of the viewing journey.
