Varanda House

SUMMARY:The house renovation was designed for a vacation home, so the concept of the veranda house was to comfortably accommodate as many guests as possible, while also offering an inviting leisure space. Organized across three levels, the house features 7 bedrooms, including 4 suites, a spacious living room, a swimming pool, and a barbecue area with a sea view.

Páramo House, A refuge made of two volumes

Esta vivienda está ubicada en el área circundante al páramo de Chingaza, en la cordillera oriental de los Andes, a más de 2.900 metros sobre el nivel del mar. El proyecto tiene su origen en la temporalidad y el crecimiento a lo largo del tiempo de las arquitecturas propias de la ruralidad colombiana, caracterizadas por la autogestión, el uso de sistemas constructivos tradicionales y la constante adición de espacios según las necesidades de sus habitantes. Esto da lugar a una arquitectura inacabada y adaptable.

Niji House

In this project, the main inspiration came from the need to create a home that is not only comfortable but also environmentally efficient. The core concept revolves around making the core of the house the central integration point for various structural elements, utility systems, MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing), vertical circulation, and building physics. This core was designed to extend from the first to the third floor, serving as a hub for natural light and air, enabling the stack effect. The stack effect creates a natural airflow where hot air rises, keeping the lower levels cooler.
