Inside the atrium, there is a ramp that connects the different stories of the building. The ramps are flooded with natural lighting from the ceiling and utilize modern finishes, such as glass walls, wood hand rails, and yellow paint to accent the white walls. According to Atelier Deshaus, the external form and the façade “represent the inevitability to the internal relation.”
