La Lechera Arts Center Torrelavega
The Arts Center Torrelavega, located in the historic industrial complex of La Lechera on the north side of Torrelavega, is set to become a vibrant cultural hub. Close to the river Saja and surrounded by peaceful residential areas and green spaces, the Arts Center Torrelavega revitalizes this area by blending historical architecture with modern cultural needs.
The proposal integrates seamlessly with the existing buildings, introducing contemporary structures that respect the original industrial language. Three new volumes complete the Arts Center Torrelavega, providing essential facilities for a wide range of cultural activities. Transitions between the old and new structures are achieved through interstitial spaces that enhance both functionality and design.
With expansive exhibition areas, the Arts Center Torrelavega is equipped to adapt to the challenges of modern cultural demands. Its main spaces celebrate the original structure of La Lechera while embracing innovative elements, ensuring the center becomes a dynamic venue for Torrelavega’s artistic and cultural scene.
