Mercabarna-Flor


Designed by Willy Muller Architects (Willy Muller’s Barcelona office is led by Muller, a native of Argentina, and by Frenchman and associate architect, Frédéric Guillaud. They also have an office in Brazil. - Tuija Seipell), Mercabarna-Flor is a 44,000 sq meter whole-sale flower market in Barcelona.


The building's design was inspired by the aerial view of flower fields in full bloom with its multi-faceted angular roof structure and multi-colored outer shell.


The market is divided into three sections: cut flowers, plants and accessories. The building's close proximity to the airport terminal is key for the flower industry's success.
