It’s amazing how something can be transformed when you have a vision for it and the tenacity to see it through. This huge structure just outside of Barcelona, Spain, was once a cement factory, roughly 100 years ago, circa World War 1. An architect by the name of Ricardo Bofill purchased the closed down, dilapidated factory in 1973 with a vision for what it could become.
Over the next 45 years, he transformed it into a home and office, and continues to work on it today. The transformation is mind blowing.
