COSTA DEL SOL TOURIST BOARD & CONVENTION BUREAU

The building was a survivor of the 19th century, and although didn’t have a high artistic value, we had to respect its facade and design the windows the way it complied with the house’s previous residential function. The ground floor was completely deformed by a furniture shop. This allowed us, after several months of discussions, do something different from the strict rehabilitation rules. So the building, as we found it, had little to do with the offices of the Tourist Board, its assigned user. Because of its pentagonal-shape floor plan, the main goal of the project was structure it around a rectangular patio the way that the access to the offices should be easier. The attic floor of the café has complete glazing on its sides to let the light come into the courtyard. The lobby and the reception are on the ground floor, separated from the auditorium by sliding doors, forming as a whole a spacious room for expositions. On the rest of the floors we can find offices and other departments that belong to the Convention Bureau.
