PROJECT

Centro de Turismo

The project was consisting of the adequacy of a mezzanine, for the offices of the center of formation of tourism of Castellón. On height having treated itself about a mezzanine of small, with many pipes at sight, and with alone access from a stairs, without previous vestibule, here the challenges were multiple: on the one hand to achieve that the pipes were disappearing, concealing them by means of a game of false roofs and of lighting, on the other hand that " this stairs " was taking protagonism, which was the anteroom of what would develop above.

The program was very extensive for little space of the one that was arranging, a zone of receipt, administration - office, several classrooms, a room I multiuse, and a room of tryings; all that developed concerning around the stairs to the one that was overturning an opened space, which was gathering the arrival, and from where one accedes to all the stays.

The singular of this project is the opened space, which develops in the hall, where to conceal the preexistences of the mezzanine, it arranged of a curved partition lined with wood of beech that would shelter a few niches that were allowing a game of lighting and in turn they would do the exhibitor's function.

As for the compartimentación of the spaces one resorted to a system of prefabricated screen, which was allowing the flexibility of the spaces, according to the needs of the center. This one arranged on a soil of linoleum, quite constant to facilitate this flexibility.
Another important factor in this project was the lighting, which was present from the beginning as a constant, influencing the disposition of the false roofs, and creating zones with glass screens illuminated from the interior, providing with an environmental constant light that integrates all the spaces from the hall.
