The portal structure is made of galvanised steel and painted white.

The furnishing system envisages the use of greenery through the use of large triangular planters resting on the existing slab.

Added to this system is the lighting of the covered walkways and the three tensile structures by means of directional LED spotlights. Finally, an accent lighting system enhances the green flower boxes and olive trees.
