Odiseo is the results of the need to create an enormous city leisure advanced, which desires to develop into a reference, not just for the town of Murcia, however for the whole southeast area of Spain. Overlaying a complete constructed space of 15,500 m2, the constructing homes two eating places, a nightclub, a efficiency corridor, a on line casino, and a sports activities bar, in addition to two parking ranges underground.

Positioned in one of many fundamental entrances to the town, surrounded by high-speed roads (the place the panorama is dominated by the billboards and logos of purchasing malls and different companies), the constructing seeks to make itself seen with out interesting for exterior signal poles, changing into a colossal totem that homes air and vegetation, designed to be appreciated in movement and from a 360-degree angle.

Alternatively, and assuming the essence of the primary use of the constructing (a leisure middle), the venture pursues the person expertise as a elementary goal: from the purely sensorial (consolation, the sound of water, reflections, textures) to the psychological (curiosity, amazement, expectation, shock, smile).

Based mostly on these guides, the constructing is made up externally by a two-level plinth, barely shifted from one another, producing a big terrace on its roof, the place a pavilion for a restaurant is positioned. Above this seems the “totem” (a big latticework of steel tubes supporting the signal that crowns the constructing) and a raised terrace crossed by a cantilevered pool on either side, which, by leaning solely on two central concrete cores, overhangs as much as 22 meters. A difficult and sophisticated structural design, the place singular assets develop into standard, is in the end used to generate an elevated forest: water options, vegetation, shade, air flow… mix to create an ecosystem that defends the constructing from the robust local weather of one of many sunniest cities in Europe, very targeted on tourism.

Inside, a particularly cautious design generates unbiased worlds, juxtaposed with one another, led by the restaurant house. Taking the Mediterranean as a place to begin (which additionally guides its kitchen) and Greek mythology as its most important illustration, an accumulation of textures (woods, gold and bronze, pure fibers, velvets, artisan ceramics…), blended below deeply heat lighting, transmit to the person totally different perceptions of the fantastic thing about this idea.

The development, financed solely with personal cash, has counted to a big extent on native expertise and staff, primarily based on a spirit of financial accountability with the small metropolis wherein it’s positioned, badly hit by the earlier disaster. Structure, communication, and nature overlap to offer character and livability to a beforehand inhospitable and charmless space of the town, creating an city oasis with a domesticated local weather open to all residents.
