Designed by Vaillo + Irigaray, the lime green structure building actually a garbage collection center. The building facility gathers waste from neighboring areas, compacts it and prepares for it to be taken to other recycling plants. The facades was made from recycled material.

Located in Huarte, Spain, the plant was conceived as an analogy to a stomach with intestines. Following the biological theme, the various buildings that make up the structure are connected by a network of underground pipes. Inside, the center is equipped with turbines, scrubbers and filters that sort the collected trash and readies it to be shipped to other treatment and recycling centers in the region.

Because it can get pretty noisy with all of the sorting going on inside the building, Vaillo + Irigaray gave the walls several insulating layers. The facade is made of recycled aluminum sheets that have been painted a poppy lime green.
