The Feel project is conceived as a School of Canoeing and water sports in They pay it, Murcia. The starting point of the project is a block on the seafront located in Santiago de la Rivera currently occupied by a hospital and several houses.

The new canoeing school in Lo Pagan

Volumetrically, the project is conceived as a stacked arrangement of cantilevered bands in which the lower space corresponds to sports activities and the upper spaces to cultural activities.
Modules with cantilevers facing the sea are proposed, which will feature the artistic activities of the artists' residence. While the space on the ground floor will be occupied by the canoeing school.

Light and materiality

The culmination of the project consists of an exhibition hall located in a cantilever perforated by a courtyard of lights.
The light and the materiality of the space condition the subjective value characteristics for the use of said space. That is why in art workshops rooms with different lighting characteristics are compartmentalized. Allowing a diffuse screening of a lattice, a vertical jet of small skylights or a total opening to the landscape.
Since the orientation of the sea is Northeast, large panes of glass are opened to capture the view of the sea. While the other orientations are more opaque to the outside. Materially, the building is a metallic structure made up of parallel porticoes. The exterior is clad with a double skin of corten steel, which has a great chromatic affinity with the colors of the environment.
