ABSTRACT

In 1606, the juries of Castellón ask for a space for commerce to be built, following local tradition, but in this case in a corner defined by two streets, and in an Italian way, designed in the classical manner of that time. The relationship between inside and outside in this kind of architecture, the open space of arches, the open corner to two streets of such importance, are very important conditions in the intervention on the building. Thus, the project enhances the elongation of the interior space towards the exterior, unifying materials and textures of floors, opening physically and visually the whole space, in a way that only the shade and the projection of the architecture separate inside and outside.
