Interview with ERRE and HOK – Roig Arena, Valencia

A talk with Jose Martí, Amparo Roig, and M. Ángeles Ros from ERRE and John Rhodes from HOK, who designed the Roig Arena in Valencia, Spain.

On Tsport 365 we’ve published the design of Roig Arena, in Valencia, Spain and took the opportunity to talk to the two firms that handled the design, ERRE and HOK. Read on to find out what they told us.

The Arena has been designed by ERRE, together with the international firm HOK. How did this collaboration start?

Jose Martí, Amparo Roig, and M. Ángeles Ros, partner architects at ERRE : The synergy between both teams has been essential to successfully completing the project in Valencia. We have been able to complement each other’s strengths: HOK, with its extensive international experience in arenas, brought a global perspective that greatly enriched the design. For our part, at ERRE, we contributed our knowledge of the urban context and local culture, which allowed us to optimize the phases of the construction process. This complementarity, together with the shared vision that every detail should respond to the needs of the place, has enabled us to shape a space that aspires to become a benchmark in Europe.
