This renovation was designed for a woman who lives alone. The apartment, located in the lower part of El Poblado, in Medellín, lacked adequate access to natural light and had a ceiling height of 2.30 meters. The brief called for introducing more sunlight, increasing the height as much as possible, and redesigning the kitchen. A determining factor in the project was the client's wish to have interior gardens that would echo the trees near the windows.

Being a top-floor apartment with significant height between the tower's roof and the apartment’s ceiling, the project focused on drastically reconfiguring the space, modifying its section with a series of new ceiling planes reaching heights of up to 4.00 meters. The building's roof was also perforated to create a skylight that naturally illuminates the living room, beneath which a built-in concrete planter was placed alongside a reading nook and library.

The kitchen was expanded by demolishing the maid’s room and bathroom and was integrated with the dining area. Floor-to-ceiling cabinets increased storage capacity and conceal the washing machine, while a U-shaped counter takes advantage of the apartment's only window to look out at the urban landscape, featuring a built-in planter that doubles as an edible garden.

While the flooring throughout the apartment was unified with laminate wood, the ceiling geometry varies to expand or reduce each space according to its use. The diagonals that define the skylight shift shape depending on the observer's position, while the light passing through it moves across the walls, changing in tone and tracing the passage of time.

Guadalajara 602 is an interior architecture project that, unlike most interventions of this kind, focuses not on decoration but on space. It does not seek to dress up what already exists, but rather to enhance the life of its inhabitant, working with the most essential values of architecture: spatiality, light, form, and the presence of vegetation.
