There is a three-level basement, two levels for shopping and one for parking. The architectural façade was designed with a neoclassical approach, and these principles have been followed strictly from composition to division, with simplifications made to the detailing to ensure the project meets the requirements of the modern age and the commercialisation aspect.

Italian Renaissance and natural romantic styles have been adopted in the interior design which features a large interior space that has been divided into 3 distinguished atrium spaces; Sun Plaza at the south end which adopts the classical style of ancient Greece and Rome to create a magnificent internal space, Central Plaza in the middle which adopts the classic, romantic and exotic style of Italian Venice with exquisite decorations and the north Garden Court utilises patterns of natural green plants to provide a relaxing feel to the visitor.
