The towns around Zamora, Spain are renown for their superb cheeses, fresh produce, and Romanesque architecture. However, a small cluster of municipal buildings in the town of Morales del Vino has a distinctive, modern look and an elegant simplicity that belies its prefabricated concrete construction.

Designed by De Lapuerta + Asensio, the complex is known as a "Multipurpose Business Centre." The name reflects its aim to help people with mental and/or physical disabilities learn an artistic trade. The complex features four workshops, each specializing in a creative discipline - pottery, textiles, handcrafts, and graphic arts ? as well as a greenhouse.

De Lapuerta laid out each of the workshop buildings so that they could easily adapt to the changing program.
