Their heritage status meant they couldn’t be demolished, inspiring a creative solution: seamlessly integrating the existing structures into a modern development.

Architect Spends 45 Years Transforming An Old Cement Factory Into A Fairytale Home
In the early 1970s Ricardo Bofill. A young architect. Fell in love with a cement factory abandoned since 1968 in Sant Just Desvern, a suburb of Barcelona.
Driving to the western suburbs of Barcelona, the landscape in Sant Just Desvern featured blocks of concrete, enormous silos, chimneys exhaling smoke. The factory was active at the time. They dismantled the 31,000-square-meter industrial complex a month after that visit. For the architect, it was the perfect opportunity to satisfy his longing for space. Taking care of that decaying factory, he could give it a second life.
