This astonishing station's volume takes the shape of a gigantic irregular concrete space. Its most striking aspect is the immense triangular cavern and slope, expanding from the top of the escalators to the mezzanine, permitting passengers a birds'-eye view of the mezzanine and trainroom from up above.
Repeating the slope's irregular geometry is the shape of the mezzanine, which bridges diagonally across the platforms. Similarly, the roof of the great volume is slanted down rather than orthogonal.
As for the single entrance building, it features rows of triangular windows. Their shape mirrors that of the Olympic Village towers which they show.

The walls on this station are ornamented in a number of different ways. Within the entrance building, the windows are mirrored on the opposite wall by colourful murals by Guy Montpetit, who also brightened the hallway from the kiosk to the escalators along the same theme. Some of the concrete walls have similar designs carved into them, to camouflage the irregularities in the concrete.
At the platform level, the walls are clad in square orange brick panels below, and left bare above. Unfortunately, the concrete is covered in water stains.
