The Kokedama and the slate water feature below is worth checking out. The workmanship is evident and more so when you see the deck and pool.

Another fantastic Olive Oil Factory. I hope to see some of our Coconut Oil, Sesame Oil and Groundnut oil factories looking as good as these.

As good as a Factory can get. The beautiful characteristics of this land have been preserved with care and elegance.
Note this:
90% of the building is hidden through a staggered layout of its program, adapting it to the original terraces and restoring the stone walls, now transformed into the façade of the oil mill.
 the remaining 10% of the building makes a difference. It is a complementary volume to the mill (production space and offices). This is the reception space where you can buy and taste the gourmet products made by the property and the place where you can start the guided tour of the interior of the building. The reception pavilion is located at the top of the hill between two existing sculptural rock groups and enjoying the panoramic views. It is the only visible volume and becomes a landmark, based on a unique and light construction that seeks to be very neutral so as not to compete with the rocks in its surroundings.

"The building's geometry adapts to the shape of the land; two circles with the same radius were projected to intersect in such a way that the center of one coincides with the development of the other. Inscribed within them are two squares that house most of the functional areas."

"The building incorporates a unique design element for optimizing natural ventilation and mosquito control. These vertically projecting elements, visible in night-time images, serve a specific functional purpose beyond aesthetics. Users can easily open and close them from ground level using the rope, and when released, gravity tilts the wood shutter outward for efficient air circulation while preventing mosquitoes. This angled closure ensures a tight seal when closed, maximizing both ventilation and mosquito protection. Furthermore, the design facilitates hot air removal through natural convection and complements strategic window placement for effective cross-ventilation and indirect north-facing light, minimizing heat gain."

"Details like avoiding steel fencing and using natural wood sticks to traverse the pathways and downward lighting to avoid glare in your eyes and only light up the pathways were little details designed in collaboration with the laborers. Slatted wood planks paneled on exterior walls for effective surface runoff and protecting wood-finished walls kept the visual aesthetics in tune with the surroundings. Also, the amount of heavy construction material in the form of stones/ cement, etc., was considerably reduced because of the choice of such materials. Brick walls were only used around washrooms to create watertight spaces. Interiors were also paneled with wood and designed to feel cozier and safer.
Earth materials like mud bricks, wood, and thatch were used to keep the visual language in tune with the site. And to reduce the permanency of the building. The structural system of all the buildings was made of steel, which again was a recyclable material that could be dismantled and removed, along with the short concrete footing. Basically, all built in this property could be removed from the land, and land reversed to its prior form very easily. Granite stones were used as intermittent pavers in pathways and for steps."

A fantastic renovation.
"The resilience of the aged limestone walls now finds synergy with slender additions of steel. The greenish-toned solar control glass above gracefully rests on the Art-Nouveau-inspired roof structures of the historical factory complex. The beams of the glass roof are directly supported, sans columns, by new concrete girders integrated into the cornices of the existing buildings. The roof’s slope and height vary to encompass all the Art Nouveau frontispieces on the interior walls. A connecting bridge spans the airspace of the lofty gallery, unifying the buildings on both sides of the passage and the entire indoor street"

"A building with a built-up area of only 9,000sqft (810 sqm) generates a 9,000sqft rooftop garden and a 27,000sqft open auditorium and, in addition to the enclosed spaces, generates usable space that is four times more than the built space."

"The house is located in favor of a slope level on the land which, parallel to it, seeks to minimize intervention; at the same time, the house blends in with the context among the trees, thus reducing the number of trees eliminated to 0%. This was one of the most important limitations when locating the house. The requirement was based on the premise that it be a weekend retreat house, designed as a retirement home, that is, a small cabin but brought to contemporaneity. A space that can contemplate the comforts of modern life. The project intends to respect nature, blend in with the environment, and thus merge with the forest. Maintaining a direct relationship with the place's landscape where several atmospheres are generated, taking advantage of the shade cast by the existing trees in the area. A pine tree is responsible for articulating the access between earth walls, directing our view towards the outside immediately, where we can experience nature more deeply and intimately. Direct relationship (space and site)."

"The 3,500 m2 building spread over three floors houses an array of innovative vertical cultivations around a monumental entrance hall. An educational route through the building leads visitors past fruit and berry trees in the open ground, automated vertical lettuce growing, fruit growing under LED light, and a rooftop greenhouse with tomato and cucumber growing under daylight."
