Leisure, shops and sport go hand-in-hand in the 190,000 sqm on which the leisure complex H2Ocio is located. The commercial area occupies 65% of the total building surface, which takes the shape of a stranded boat on a lake shore.
The complex encompasses two isolated modules: Music and Food Courts. The latter is distinguished from the rest due to its geometry, characterized by different curves and planes with singular angles on their respective roof. Additionally, a pier, a ticket office and artificial lake and adjacent restaurant were built.
The main building has a basement, ground floor, mezzanine, upper floor, a singular steel roof and urban spaces. The floor slabs structure shows 8 x 8 m support grids, excepting the shopping mall area on supermarkets, which is 8 x 16 m and consists of varying depth solid slabs and separated expansion joints with approximately 64 m between them. The vertical structure consists of concrete columns and walls and a great number of retaining walls. The roof has been made of steel due to the fact that it has larger spans and the geometry is very particular in some sectors.
