Oil industrial complex

Type: Architecture, Interiors

Use: Oil mill open to visitors

Site: Piñar, Granada


The Almazara Campopineda is an industrial complex open to visitors that houses multiple uses related to extra virgin olive oil. That is, a Centre for the Interpretation of Olive Groves and their derivative products in Mediterranean culture and gastronomy.

An in-depth analysis of the programme was necessary to design a building where the proper functioning of its industrial facilities coexists with intense cultural, commercial and gastronomic activity. Thus, the interior of the complex is designed as an exhibition space that can be visited continuously to gain an overview of the olive oil production and tasting process.

On the outside, the building offers a resounding and compact response to the road and an open and generous dialogue with the surrounding landscape of olive groves.
