The kind of bagel that ruins lesser bagels for you.
Summary
Architecture studio Pezo von Ellrichshausen has designed and built a concrete pavilion in a Chilean forest that resembles a temple but serves as a functional shed for storing beekeeping equipment. The 36-square-meter structure, called Miel (Spanish for 'honey'), is located on a 130-hectare rural property owned by the studio founders in Yungay, central Chile. The building combines architectural aesthetics with practical agricultural use, creating a striking yet functional space for beekeeping operations.
