Round pool at the heart of the square

Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain

Plaza de España Tenerife

The redesign of the main square on the waterfront turns a traffic-heavy space into a large public room open to the sea.

A broad shallow pool of water sits at the centre, its edges drawn as soft curves. Around it, pale paving, low walls and scattered trees in round beds create places to sit and walk.
