The Dancing House comprises of two main parts, firstly is a glass tower that narrows at half its height and is supported by curved pillars and the second runs parallel to the river and is characterized by undulating moldings and unaligned windows.
Offering a three-dimensional effect to the building, the architect fitted each of the windows with protruding frames, while the winding moldings gave a new perspective to the building.
