Mystery building

We came across this very bizarre building on Saturday and have been unable to find out what it is, just the name of a company on the sign. I don’t think it was a train station, anyway.

This building looks like two cockpits of high speed trains next to each other or a catamaran cruise ship. Too bad the building behind the fancy front is rather non-descript. Your picture of it is interesting and thought provoking.

an unusual façade for sure...perhaps the architect is a closet Gehry fan..
