Mr. Conway stated that there are two components for having the design as such, over the years the owner has had non-stop issues with the roof. The main reason for the roof to be in a dome shape is to provide less issues later on. The other approach is the purpose to have a new space different of what has been seen before. Chair Mr. Bolton asked about the material of the roof since it shows to be concrete and looks to be very thick. Mr. Conway stated is 6 inch formwork.
