According to the renderings, most of the structure will be clad in stucco, painted in either white, grey or taupe. Stone tiles are used to clad the exposed portions of the columns along the perimeters of the podium. The design architect makes use of aluminum through ornamental features such as wave-like decorative white screens with triangular cut-outs, or mesh screens, all of which are used to enclose the parking structure in a non-obtrusive manner. The tower portion is aligned with outdoor terraces on all elevations, utilizing black aluminum guardrails to enclose them; although the superstructure itself is mostly rectangular, it does give off the illusion of vertical curves due to the way the terraces are painted and illuminated.
