estudi d’arquitectura ramon valls                      

the new building of the regional library in tortosa stands in the historic town center, a district of narrow streets and gothic and renaissance buildings; it was built on what were the grounds of an old andalusí house, some of the traces of which can be viewed through the glass flooring in the entrance hall

the interior combines maple wood, glass and concrete, and zenithal light compensates for the narrow street surroundings; the ground floor is an open, inviting space; the first and second floors, whose glass walls overlook the entrance hall, create a separate space that integrates with the global space of the building

the library is furnished with a bci steel shelving system whose maple wood panels harmonize with the interior design
