The volume permitted by the municipal by-laws could not be modified and the building's location in an open space in the centre of the city led to a façade design that was both representative and discreet. The building's fixtures ran along all sides of the building and it was not possible to consider opening windows to the outside on a regular basis. The uses inside the building did not make it advisable either.

After the experience with the façade of the interior of the block at El Corte Inglés in Plaça de Catalunya in Barcelona, the solution appeared without difficulty. The entire building is homogeneously covered with perforated cast aluminium sheets, like shutters, which during the day allow light to enter the building in the areas of the fire escapes, located at the four corners and in the centre of three of the building's sides.
The planks do not form a continuous vertical plane, as they open in a fixed position towards the inside of the staircase, thus creating a certain dynamism; shadows by day and light at night.
The ground floor follows the street alignments around the centre and is clad in the company's classic grey granite, with the business logo bush-hammered in giant letters. The other plants overhang the surrounding pavements.
