La pèira blanca cassada, lo fust de tons de tèrra e los accents metallics forman de jaças de textura e de calor. Los motius d'incrustacion de pèira d'estil Art Déco e lo sòl de pèira en espina de pèis fan referéncia a las anticas maisons de comèrci de la region. Un escalièr corbat mena los visitaires cap amont, e lo vestibul dels ascensors garda d'indicators d'estatge d'epòca. Los arcs classics e las corbas barròcas son reinterpretats a travèrs d'un apròchi geometric modèrne.
