Master Plan of Building Facilities Formerly Owned by the Agricultural Cooperative of Archanes

< Back to recent projects

The project concerns the formulation of integrated proposals for the utilization of the space where until a few decades ago, the Agricultural Cooperative of Archanes operated, and its connection with the agricultural and tourist product of the Region of Crete. This is an area of approximately 20,900 square meters, which is located within the settlement of Ano Archanes and includes a significant number of buildings and facilities. It is a historical site, which certifies the timeless relationship of the region with primary production and especially with wine and oil.

The proposals in their entirety are to:

(a) contribute to the interconnection of economic functions with the natural, cultural environment and productive identity of the region;

(b) contribute to local / regional economic development and social empowerment by promoting sustainable productive standards; and

(c) promote local entrepreneurship through innovation and extroversion.

This project is an emblematic investment for the whole of Crete through which the primary production, nature and cultural identity of the wider area will be highlighted (history and archeology, architecture, customs and traditions, local products and flavors, cultural landscape).
