Standing in stark isolation, buffeted by wind and waves roaring in from the North Atlantic Ocean, a striking rectilinear building juts out from the rocky coastline. The precise lines and angles of the structure are utterly opposed to the wave-worn geology that surrounds it. The contrast is immediate and as such enlivening, exciting and intriguing.
