The fish market is divided into two clear parts.

On the one hand a U shape volume which includes all the administrative and techniques rooms of the building. On the other hand a set of 5 volumes containing longitudinal modules exporters. Both pieces come together in the same architectural language by the same tectonic concrete base that involves the entire ground floor.

Concrete flat roofs and shield cover the corridors of fish market, providing natural light and a sustainability strategy.

These two parts differ in a remarkable way by treating of their covers, despite using the same material, the zinc, it has been applied with two different building systems. The U-piece, "The fish", is composed of three parts both on the cover and in its functional and spatial organization.

The five volumes, that contains the exporting modules, are communicate by lateral corridors with the "the fish".

The skyline of the building allows the integration of the environment.
