The center was designed by Spanish architecture firm MADE IN Architects (Group of architects set up for this specific project, and formed in the first phase by Manuel Monteserín, Andres Infantes, Beatriz Pachón, Antonio Alejandro and Javier Simó).[4] [5] The center consists of the Wave Tower, Coral Zone, Whale Bridge, Dolphin Walk, and Live Warehouse, which span over an area of 11ha.[6]
