The ceiling of the central room is a flat sky that forms a whirl pool which as well as constituting another marine reference, refers as is common with Gaudi, to the idea of generation of nature.
Gaudi modified the inner courtyards and widened them with the aim of letting air and light pass through, which filtered down to the ground floor by a large central skylight. The graduation of colour in the inner courtyard goes from deep blue at the top down to white at the bottom, and the size of the windows larger in the lower floors, are the result of Gaudi's desire to control the entry of light into the building.
