Built in concrete and stoneware (for interiors), these are mosaics (sandstone, Briare enamel) of different shades up to the blue sky at the top which gave it its name and justify its protection as monuments historic.
The decoration of interior apartments and common spaces are just as remarkable. Shops are created on the ground floor.
