Image Description:
A bright, welcoming pathway leads to the entrance of a modern building with large glass doors and windows. The path is bordered by lush greenery and colourful flowers on both sides, creating a vibrant, garden-like atmosphere. A blue canopy extends over part of the walkway, supported by tall concrete posts. The building has a mix of white walls, brick textures, and a triangular glass roof section. Above, the sky is blue with fluffy white clouds, adding to the inviting feel of the scene.
