The aggregate site-specific decoration consists of:
- Silkscreen-imprinted glass panels as balcony-dividers.
- Window sections at the entrances (silkscreen prints in the double glazed windows).
- Elevator shafts at entrances. The one side of the elevator shaft consists of silkscreen-imprinted glass panels, where the color becomes gradually lighter as one ascends toward the 7th floor.
