Home is where the heart is, or at least, that’s the way the old saying goes. It doesn’t matter where your home is or what it looks like, so long as it’s full with the people you love.
That’s one of the reasons why architects design houses that they hope are not only beautiful and functional, but that reflect the people who are living inside of it. If they can make these homes unique, it’s even better.
When one architect was on vacation in Spain, he stumbled across an abandoned old building. Everyone else saw something that should be torn down, but he only saw the potential to transform it into an incredible home-provided he could get past its former function.

[@robinthomas4213]

To be able to work, play, garden and play all in one beautiful place you call your home is just perfect.

[@mindyours752]

Only if you have a lot of people staying with you. If not that then it's just creepy.

[@macplastering]

It is great and looks like a castle for sure

[@candicechristian7344]

So happy he did this. .. absolutely ingenious. ..beautiful 😍😍😍😍😍

[@MultiBee79]

I have same idea whenever I see abandoned houses to turn into nice gardens... and I'm dead serious about it

[@willdodd2810]

Have you made these ideas reality?

[@ralphc2105]

Ya it's been 4 years

[@dr.ofdubiouswisdom4189]

I've seen repurposed churches, warehouses, & a hydro dam...facinating! Anything goes & so unique! The cool factor is off the chart.

[@mayuripatkar7123]

As an architect, i applaud his vision !

[@SerafEnd]

mayuri patkar I applaud you applauding him

[@JamesCox]

That's pretty amazing what he has done with that old factory.

[@Daystar311]

This is stunning and unique! I love it. He's brave to invite people to explore some of the property, but it's a kind gesture, nonetheless. Thanks for sharing it!

[@sumayah6025]

Its beautiful, that mixture and harmony between an old desolate, man made structure and nature is just breathtaking.

[@desiguy55]

now about those abandoned detroit factories.

[@links2films201]

Now about those Detroit neighbours !

[@Jill_T]

links2films, exactly!

[@sojourn1544]

desiguy55 need to convert them into prisons....

[@fuego3974]

First we worry about the people

[@kcvanderpool]

Nah, the neighborhood is too "dark". No natural lighting 🤣

[@victoriamakin6986]

It's amazing what people can do with old buildings it's fabulous beautiful homes luscious! Fix, time and money tho!

[@hankmoody5514]

this is spectacular

[@RNRing]

Incredible. I love to watch video's on old abandoned places so I can dream of doing something like this (though it will never happen with me because I don't have that kind of money). It is great to see someone can and DID. "Genius" is an understatement (but I don't have a better one)

[@danielwaugh2215]

who wouldn't want to leave such an amazing building!?

[@janjISMYname]

This is stunning👏

[@JB-zo7ln]

Unbelievable. A true artist, designer, craftsmen, visionary, out of the box thinker. Im so impressed with this I feel compelled to plan a trip to go see it.

[@luis9286]

Just extraordinary.

[@behindcloseddoorsministries]

[@SuzPratt11]

Beautiful......intelligent vision. Great re-use Project. Love this.

[@KitKat24531]

I love you Richard! It’s beautiful just beautiful.

[@samart673]

There are many abandon building that have been left haunted, used for crime and for drug addict. Not to mention wasted land that have potential to be occupied by people. Some one need to do something like dis. People need to invest something like this.

[@Brownie8986]

I remember seeing this online last year. This is such a beautiful house! Like a picturesque backdrop for a wedding reception! ❤💖❤

[@jonanthony6364]

astounding! absolutely brilliant

[@MommiDonni1]

It just be nice to have that much disposable income!

[@Michael_00001]

It is.

[@PiperStart]

Building your own home is an investment in an asset rather than using disposable income.

[@nas8326]

Its not

[@passiveaggressivenegotiato8087]

smart architects know how utilize salvage materials, but yeah it takes money, but it's like a savings account when it's a rare property like this place. (his company operated out of part of it, so there is deductions right there) and the whole thing is example of what they can do with old european buildings.

Ricardo Bofill is amongst the world's most famous and wealthiest architects. You bet he has tons of 'disposable' income.

[@tacticplanner7188]

What an amazing well thought thru idea.

[@jimmymcwilly266]

Brilliant looking house

[@littlelady2473]

[@hornetobiker]

Schizophrenia, psychosis, narcissism? Or are you just a tosser?

[@wdy43di]

This is awesome, wish there was stuff like this around here.

[@saggyt7473]

There is alot of building in US that are abandoned that could be turned into housing complexes. After 2007 , America has never been the same again cause of recession, many people are still affected from losing homes back then.

[@kesiamariaroy4861]

Wow beautiful architectural designs

[@andrewkoastephens210]

I lived across the street from a concrete plant for 14 years. Any day they took a day off, strangers to the neighbourhood would exclaim how beautiful the abandoned factory was. Although it was neither abandoned nor a factory, it was and still is beautiful in an austere, decayed way.

[@jasb1441]

What a nice place, he has changed up something ugly into a palace. You have little pronunciation mistake, "fábrica", has its stress on the first syllabe (fa) not on the second one (bri). Spanish is a tonal language if you change the stress you change the meaning of the word. If you say "la faBRIca" you are saying "he makes her up", but if you say (la FAbrica") that means "the factory"

[@evieroberts7810]

I love recycling ideas like this one...well done Richard!

[@warrenlightning8137]

Brilliant.

[@Chr.U.Cas2216]

Wonderful just beautyful, spectacular and amazing what someone with a vision is able to create. He recycled the whole thing into a marvellous living place.

[@svsv9]

It would be amazing if he add Art-deco stuff.

[@lucilledelorme]

Nice to see someone working with an existing structure and recycling it so wonderfully rather than to leave it abandoned to the elements or bulldozed and replaced with some modern eye sore.

[@martinemjt]

Impressive and grandiose. Pure genius!

[@billyboy17ify]

Very cool place. Looks amazing

[@karendobrowolski2219]

[@barrylast8655]

A remarkable piece of real estate!

[@como5555]

[@Davidman3976]

I seriously doubt it. But I heard they used the house in an episode of Westworld so, maybe.

[@bluelilly6124]

[@MrSchmitty61]

awesome place

[@PaulO-re4xx]

This guy is a genius! It looks like something like Lord of the Rings.

[@michael1345]

I recognised this in the TV series Westworld. I love it and the Director must have chosen it for it's symbolism.

[@wecanthandletruths]

Amazing! Impressive!

[@maravenu1512]

Wow! genius architect

[@uillyhernandez7080]

Great video

[@DanielWSonntag]

That's awesome

[@timlombardini3556]

Those types of dream projects are nearly impossible to realize in countries that have lots of building codes and permits.

[@rickd1412]

You could do the same thing with a concrete grain elevator. But be fore warned. Spiders love concrete.

[@nessferrer5138]

LA FABRICA MEANS FACTORY IN SPANISH

[@JXZ-JAM]

Amazing.

[@Thor-bs1nv]

His son was married to Julio Iglesias daughter and dated Paulina Rubio.

[@outerspacerealestate]

awesome. he also had a map in one of the scenes too.

[@derekjones4575]

I LOVE IT 1 OF A KIND.

[@samuelthompson8080]

Did this guy ever see any horror movies, an abandon factory, guy moves into new home. All traditional themes to a horror movie.

[@chrisspreacherman7400]
