A look inside Phillippe Starck's new LA Almazara olive oil mill design
Phillippe Starck has shared news of a newly completed architectural project in Spain called LA Almazara. The resorted olive oil manufacturing plant now allows for an inspiring epicurean museum-like experience for tourists in search of a day trip or hands-on romantic getaway.

Image courtesy Starck Network/LA Almazara.This otherwise surrealism-inspired blend of food production, food culture, design, art, and gastronomy contains a working mill press and wastes no gestures or materials (save for the monumental half olive embedded into its weather steel walls) with the deliberate exclusion of cladding or exterior finishes.
