Restoration

The southern mill is restored into a windmill. With this restoration, it is the only place on St. Croix with a functional windmill. It will be the only sugar mill that will be complete, so one gets an understanding of the historic sugar mills both visual and functional.

The machinery inside the windmill is going to produce renewable energy. Due to technical advancements, it is possible to create a complete reconstruction of the historic machinery inside the sugar mill as the electricity producing elements are placed in the cap of the sugar mill.

The production of renewable energy is very important on this site as the oil refinery is a dominant feature in the landscape. This is a statement and a comment on the reactivation of the oil refinery.

The process of designing the sugar mill, is dynamic and ongoing.
