The treatment of the wall is made with artificial stone pieces, a typical material from the sixties and seventies that were developed by some Manresa companies. The P5 has the facade receding, so that the vertical rhythm is broken and visually assemble the height difference of the two facades. The openings are made of glass with aluminum locksmith.
