A long ramp gives access to the main public area( level 1) right from the walk around the ancient walls. The strong spine wall encloses and protects the public and semi-public spaces.
The research laboratories area is encased in a glass envelope, shelted by the cantilever of the above panoramic terrace. From here it is possible to accedto the sea level(-2) and to the public lounge area.
Open spaces, protected by the spine wall, resemble for their proportions commercial docks. The paths flows between the different levels in order to guarantee the maximum accessibility.
At the end of the path a wide panoramic terrace opens towards the Ocean, like a ship bow overlooking the San Sebastian Castle.
