The building is covered  with a glass panels and during the day all 24 sides sparkle like a  real diamond. Architects Kramarenko e Vinogradov wanted to preserve and convey this vision at night. In the evening, the sparkling effect vanishes.External flood type illumination of the building is not effective, so they suggested hiding the light sources behind the glass to create an illusion of a giant colour display. 4,646 colour changing LED  fixtures were installed around the building, effectively  creating a monitor.
