ALLUR Construction
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, many abandoned industrial buildings and areas were left in Armenian cities, and the modernisation and reuse of these sites remain among the most significant challenges. The former bread factory in Dilijan is a building reinterpreted in a new format, which served the entire region during the Soviet years but no longer functions. The building and its surrounding area are abandoned and in a state of disrepair. According to the project proposal, the factory is intended to be reconstructed and reinterpreted, creating a new residential complex where the main proportions and structural skeleton framing of the building are preserved, along with the large openings characteristic of the factory, which emphasise the constructive tectonics of the building and integrate it into the natural landscape of Tavush. To meet seismic standards, reinforcements have been implemented. At all stages of the project, the aim has been to maintain the internal character, factory atmosphere, and scale.
