The Barcelo Raval
Hotel has become one of the most representative buildings of Barcelona in a few years. It is located in the heart of the city, within Raval
district, one of the most modern areas of the Catalan capital. The hotel was built as an elliptical construction,
made up from two basements, a ground
floor and ten high-rise floors. The project
was born with some specific volumes
marked by "PERI" of Raval
in Barcelona, and all the attention goes in the direction of the axes of the elliptical plant. In
the same way, depending on the direction from which it
is seen, the building is
perceived in a more or less
volumetric way. The main objective is to
allow viewers to perceive the formal continuity of the building from outside,
as well as, two large volumetric pillars,
on the ground floor, which withstand all the activities
related to hotel management, leaving the rest of the floor free.
