ASTRA

Dalia

The old winery, which was the largest cutlery manufacturer in Europe in the 70s of the 20th century, could be one of the headquarters of the Guggenheim in Urdaibai. From the point of view of sustainability, the execution of the project would involve the reuse of the exceptional architectural complex of Dalia, S.A. The factory was built in 1957, according to the project of the Bilbao architect Luis María de Gana, and was expanded in 1966 and 1973.
