Most of the floors in the downstairs areas of the Turkish bath were of terrazzo.

In refurbishing the upper levels for the Bar Sia  conversion, the architects, Tijen and Brian O'Reilly, have subtly linked past with present by their use of terrazzo. This has not only been used for new inter-level steps—hardly surprising—but has also been chosen as constructional material  for the specially designed tables and seating, and also for the the counter in the main bar.
