The façade tries to reflect the primary function of the building, through the integration of large windows, however, it maintains a certain classicist air by using a series of paired columns of a giant order, which are combined with new materials such as iron and glass >.
The plants were distributed around a central patio with curved and counter-curved shapes, where the different premises open up around it. The patio receives lighting from a large stained glass window that makes the staircase an impressive setting where the gaze cannot be turned away under any circumstances.< /p>
