The station can be accessed by three ground-level entrances, one of which is glass-covered. All of the entrances lead to the concourse level. The concourse level is rectangular, daylight-penetrated by a single rectangular shaft on the ceiling, with white walls. The concourse level's ceiling is triangular and coloured vermilion vermilion. The platforms are on a northeast-southwest axis and each platform's decoration is divided in two sections. The north side's walls are covered with curved white metal panels. In the south section the platforms are slightly wider, the ceiling is supported by white cylindrical pillars and the walls are covered with blue metal panels. The southern tip of the platforms is covered with polished granite tiles. The ceiling is white and the part above the tracks is covered with curved white metal panels.
