Article source: Cruz y Ortiz Arquitectos The building is situated on a network of dunes separated from the beach by a thirty metre high plinth of sand. It is a detached, unique construction which, almost subterranean in relation to the highest points of the plot, harmonises well with the landscape. A geometrically complex floor plan intercepted by a homogeneous section generates the interior spaces necessary to accommodate a small museum dedicated to the marine world, or a sea watching centre.

From this same section, illuminated by the light reflecting upwards from the water, visitors proceed to the other complementary spaces. The return route takes place through the main hall over a raised walkway, allowing a better view of the hanging displays. At the end of the journey, visitors discover the linear pond in which the light was reflected.

The expressive character of the ground floor at its intersection with the sloping plane is manifested in the roof generating the external volume.
