  Located in Salamanca, the designed building stands in a cork-oaks meadow landscape, next to the crossing path way that accede the property. The main country house raises in the distance, over a hill which domains its lands.  
 
  Customer's desire was to generate a corporate strong image building, integrated and respectful with intrinsic values ​​of the existing natural landscape.  
 
  The building is designed as a semi-buried architectural object, isolated, autonomous, as a "land art" concept, actually embraced by the natural meadow and to be completed later by an olive grove-garden.  
 
  Earthy green-oak colored cubes ordered in a logic sequence and a ramp green-slate stone volume to access, through a central staircase, the deck roof gardens where the landscape is viewed. A great bow window attached to the sloping volume as a huge eye looking at the country house. From it the complex can be understood as logical ordered "dices" merging from the land.  
 
  Inside, spaces are hinged through a mezzanine, along which we can observe cheese´s manufacture, cure and aging, and hams drying in the ground-floor naves. Outside, a semi-buried surrounding road allows industrial access, while visitor walk across an open "patio" where gardening reproduces future building´s enlargements.
