Both levels are connected with cascades which serve as an auditorium during collateral events and allow customers to sit, read, relax or communicate through regular opening hours. Books are stored in long shelves along both sides of the bookshop. By this means a clear organization and a monumental effect is achieved. New titles and bestsellers are displayed at several mobile stands. The permanent part of the program - storage, deposit, office and lavatory – are placed under the gallery and accessible via a staircase at the edge of the coffee bar and cascades.
