Chile Modern Architecture - glass bottle plant by architect Guillermo Hevia

The contemporary Cristalchile factory, brought to you by Chilean architect Guillermo Hevia, is a stunning piece of modern architecture that takes a sustainable approach to its operation. Located within the hilly landscape of Llay-Llay, Chile, the modern design features a rippled roof hanging above a great glass facade, creating a striking venue for this glass bottle plant. But the unique roofline is much more than en eye-pleaser. This innovative design allows for optimal use of natural light, solar and wind power, taking this plant off the grid. Inside, bio-climatic technology, passive ventilation and eco-friendly energy options are employed to minimize environmental impact. Guillermo Hevia
