Some of the walls are backlit so that the space seem more permeable and attenuates vertigo felling through a sequence of perforated steel lighted walkways that provide different qualities of light and fragmented views to the well with balconies.
Both stations have a metallic finish anti vandalism, consisting of perforated metal panels and recessed, which also provides a unified image to the interior spaces.
The Salut station receives natural light through a large skylight and access is through corridors that overlook a large atrium and then into artificially lit light from the skylight. One of the corridors, the longest, use the slope of the walls as a mechanism to reduce the monotony of travel.
Access to Llefià station is done through a large steel pergola and plant elements that act as a reference in the neighborhood and that are linked to a base of public facilities including commercial spaces and offices.
