The building, which is resolved in a single plant, is organized in two bodies of different volumes articulated together by means of three pieces of glass.
The first of the volumes, facing Trencall street, with a marked horizontal character, opens to the outside through a large glazed opening that illuminates it and puts it in relation to the public space. This body houses the entrance, the hall and reception, administration, toilets and changing rooms.
Behind it is a second body, of greater height and cubic character, which by need of privacy is voluntarily separated from the public road to house the dance rooms. These have large glazed openings, which direct their gaze towards the vast plain of orchard that extends at the foot of the city of Llíria.
Lattices formed by inclined tubular profiles of rusted steel protect from views and excessive sunlight, while incorporating an interesting movement to the interior space through a subtle play of light and shadow.
