The design employs common construction materials and assembles them in an uncommon fashion, creating a harmonic communion of warm earthy colors and pronounced textures.

A local, craft brick cladding lines both walls and floors in a soldier-course bonding pattern. The red tone of the brick is complemented by linear bronce incrustations which sternly contrast the rugged brick texture
The plaster, applied solely on walls, is fluted vertically with a trowel and painted with a mixture of white paint and sand. This treatment results in two different gradients; that of the coarser vertical flutes and that of the finer grain of the sand. This texture, like the brick cladding, is also enriched with bronze fixtures.
