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.
