spanish studio, ramón esteve has designed 'myrtus', a convention center
located in puçol, valencia, spain. the organic geometry of the building,
developed under a circular grid, generates continuity between spaces,
stimulating visitors to flow through them.



assembly space


following the buildings sinuous shell line are alternating surfaces of glass
and white concrete that generate a rhythmic volume. from the inside, these
intermittent windows connect the building with the gardens, erasing the
limits between the indoor and the outdoor.



second floor


the ceiling, made up of variable circular disks, provides a dynamic surface
to the smooth and simplistic space. structural components, visible through
the negative spaces between each panel adds an additional depth and interest.

for outdoor celebrations, social interruption and service activities.

separated floors: an assembly hall and kitchen on street level, offices and
