Practical and unique at the same time, the complex for the Gran Casino at Costa Brava emerges from the topography, integrating three well-differentiated levels with the surrounding landscape. The first level is the access road, defined by a large canopy, which acts as an illumination system and video screen. The floor, built in highly reflective dark wood, captures and reflects the animated colors of the screen. The second level, which contains the multipurpose room (for congresses, concerts, etc.), is considered an external space, as it is not heated, and it is open to the outside by a sculptural latticework façade. With a capacity of 1.000 people, this space stands out for its flexibility and acoustical quality.

The building capped by a green roof, which softens the visual impact of the architectonic complex and allows the collection of rainwater for the irrigation of the new garden. It also provides protection for the hotel from possible noise pollution from the nearby road. A 420 space-parking garage is situated below ground level.
