As this station was planned with kiosks at either end of the platform, the artist decided to run with this dichotomy by using contrasting colour schemes - magenta at the south end, blue in the north, meeting at the centre of the platform. The colour is also in the curved panels that decorate the platform and incorporate seating, and on the walls and fittings in the mezzanines at either end.
The rest of the stylish decoration is in glass and chrome, with backlit walls of glass brick. The floors are decorated with varying patterns of black and white tiles.

The north mezzanine is immediately below the kiosk; the south one is just above platform level. Access to the platform transepts is via long, steep-looking staircases, owing to their depth.
The long ramps at the north end of the platform permit the track to begin a sharp curve within the station's space. The amphitheatre-shaped ceiling vault and curvature of the overlook provide a dramatic viewpoint.

As for the kiosks, the southern one is a small structure in the parking lot of a strip mall. The large northern access is in the ground floor of a social housing tower; its elongated shape has three separate entrances, and offers access to a number of shops and services.

Despite the lack of major works of art, the colour schemes and combinations of material create a modern and agreeable space.
