Architect Takes 45 Years To Turn An Old Cement Factory Into A Beautiful House That He Now Calls Home!

It may have taken Ricardo Bofill 45 years to make this old cement factory his home but every effort spent into transforming it showcases what a marvellous job he did. An architect, Bofill came across the tumbledown structure in 1973 and was immediately drawn to it.

Situated on the outskirts of Barcelona, the factory was shut down during World War I due to the pollution it created. Bofill and his team bought the building and after years of working on it managed to refurbish it into a habitable abode. 

While the exteriors of the building have been secured with vegetation, the interiors scream of opulence that’s minimalist and grand in equal measure. Here, take a look and prepare to get amazed.
