russian visual designer elizaveta ivanova presents an homage to ricardo bofill with a comprehensive reinterpretation of the architect’s monumental home and studio ‘la fabrica.’ the existing project occupies a 3,100 square-meter cement factory located near barcelona, spain and is defined by its lofty halls of exposed concrete and its rows of arched windows, projecting upward with exaggerated verticality. ivanova imagines the iconic building with a refreshed residential atmosphere, maintaining the brutalist industrial style, picturesque and overgrown with plant-life.
