The art gallery marcart is located in an establishment in an emergent area in Olot. The surface is divided into three levels. The entrance to the main floor is along a suspended footbridge over the lower level, made of an iron structure and two faces of wooden beams. You access the lower level down a staircase. This level acts as a pit, connected to the main floor by a handrail.

On the ground floor, located at the end of the establishment and separated by a great transparent glass wall, we find the private customer service area. This is divided into two floors: one entrance level, the same as the main floor in the building, acting as an anteroom for the upper floor, where we find a small office hidden behind a sliding door.

On the ground level, once across the footbridge, is the gallery’s collection storage area. This collection is exhibited in two different ways. On one hand, using perforated MDF panels, and on the other we find them on mobile metal panels on rails which allow them to be stored one next to the other. In this same area we find a small bent steel staircase which connects the gallery to the framing workshop.
