Turn this building into a clean 3D axonometric illustration. Remove all background elements—keep only the main structure of the building. Add a minimal square base underneath the building to ground the composition. Use crisp lines, soft shadows, and subtle textures to emphasize form and depth. The overall style should be clean, architectural, and diagrammatic, suitable for presentation or portfolio use.
