Project for the Roig Gamba Nightclub, in Platja d'Aro (II)

The Roig Gamba Nightclub pushes the boundaries of architectural creativity, presenting an avant-garde design that vividly mimics the form and movement of a shrimp. Its bold red facade, crafted from segmented, shell-like plates, gives the structure a layered, organic appearance that instantly captures attention. Thoughtful design details, like antennae-inspired lines and circular eye motifs, contribute to an intricate façade that feels lively and almost lifelike. The nightclub’s lighting scheme elevates this concept further; strategically positioned lights play off each curved segment, casting shadows and highlights that emphasize the unique textures of the “shell” both inside and out.

The lighting also brings the building to life at night, creating a glowing spectacle that adds a surreal quality, as if the structure is truly an illuminated sea creature emerging from the coast. The ambiance inside is equally immersive, with an interior that reflects the flowing, organic patterns of the ocean, enhanced by soft, ambient lighting that mirrors the rhythm of the waves. The Roig Gamba Nightclub has become more than just an entertainment venue in Platja d’Aro; it’s a bold architectural icon that merges marine-inspired artistry with a vibrant nightlife experience, providing an unforgettable setting for both locals and visitors.
