The exterior of Balliets (opposite, top) features 12-foot-square shallow glass bays that hold displays as well as permit natural light into the store. A central staircase (opposite, middle) of broad travertine treads, an oak handrail, and glass balustrades leads to the second floor. The cosmetics counter on the second floor (above) is covered in granite. Expansive second-floor windows allow outside views and an open feel in the cosmetics area.
