A volume of simple and emphatic architecture, which reinterprets the anonymous architecture of the coastal valleys in the center of Chile.  It poses itself above the soft tree-lined areas, peeking gently with its facades of wood and tones that highlight the luminosity of the place.  The body melts down as one with the geography and projects the lines of trees upon his facades.  Employs sustainable technologies, creating a favorable mood for work and the production of quality olive oil.
