Dutch architects Mecanoo have just completed their theatre and congress centre in Lledia. The 37,500 m² contains 1,000 seat theatre hall, two congress halls with 400 and 200 seats, a retail space of 2,591 m², the Mercolleida office’s and two foyers. The building has been clad in stone while the interior, a pallet of white plastered walls with hardwood and marble flooring. A large roof top garden with planting such as roses, ivy and jasmine could also been seen. This is possible due to the horizontal nature of the building. The theatre is clad in dark hard wood with various colours inlaid. The architects call it 'trees of light'. In the centre of the building, a staircase is adorned from ground to the 1st level. Also, a ramp leads visitors from the 1st to the 2nd where they could marvel at the panoramic window across the city.
