Setenta & Cuatro

Location Bogotá - Colombia

Use Vivienda

Year 2022

Setenta y Cuatro is an architectural proposal designed in one of the most captivating plots of the area, adjacent to a natural body of water flowing from the eastern mountains. Our vision focuses on architecture that seamlessly integrates with nature, prioritizing aspects such as panoramic views, respectful access, and preservation of the ravine, as well as a small natural reserve that enriches the project.

 

To achieve this, we have conceived duplex units with spacious double-height windows that maximize the entry of natural light and offer breathtaking views of the green surroundings and the ravine, benefiting both upper and lower units. Additionally, common areas are located on the lower level, creating a fluid transition space from the street to the edge of the ravine, culminating in a large outdoor platform that invites descent towards the body of water.

 

Since all units of the building are designed in duplex format, common areas are optimized and private spaces are moved to a second level, generating a housing experience that combines the feeling of living in a high-rise apartment with the comfort and spaciousness typical of a house.

LV House

Location Guasca - Colombia

Year 2019

This modern house with flat roofs and floor-to-ceiling windows aims to integrate itself respectfully into the privileged context where it was designed.

 

Surrounded by native forests characteristic of this area of the Bogotá savannah, the house was placed in a location amidst the mountains, where it enjoys a unique view of the region’s mountains and the Tominé reservoir in the background.

 

This weekend house, in constant connection with its surroundings, features outdoor terraces and pergolas for warm days, yet it’s also designed as a sealed house where, on a cold day, one can close the windows, enjoy the fireplace, and shelter from the low temperatures characteristic of this region.

SS House

Location Anapoima - Colombia

Year 2020

This house is located a few hours from Bogotá in a region with a warm climate and abundant nature. Its design was centered around a large interior courtyard with the concept of bringing greenery into the house to play a prominent role. This courtyard, which enriches the daily living experience of the project, was also planned to help cool the spaces, creating a microclimate that, thanks to the generous proposed vegetation, provides shade and refreshes the house.

 

Volumetrically, the house is the result of the intersection of vertical and horizontal planes that weave together, generating a repetitive minimalist language that characterizes the way the planes connect and shape the different spaces.

 

Its flat roofs extend to create shadows, protecting the open social spaces such as the living room, dining room, and kitchen from the afternoon sun. Its exterior space, where the pool is located, was designed as a threshold between the house and its surroundings, creating a connection with the natural canyon located in front.

Year 2020

The development of this interior design project stands out for the incorporation of very simple elements in all spaces, allowing for a sense of unity between each of the apartment’s environments.

 

Divided into two levels, the upper level or social level stands out for its privileged view of the city and the eastern hills, which led to simplifying the forms and materials to not detract from the surroundings. The lower level, or residential level, articulated by a TV room, is designed as a retreat space, where once again the use of noble materials such as wood provides warmth and comfort to the home.

Year 2023

Under the philosophy of merging contemporary design with traditional elements, the GO apartment is a penthouse of approximately 700 square meters, where each space seeks to reflect both the owner’s personality and the functionality intended for each corner of this project.

 

Developed over two levels, the project divided its spaces to create a fluid transition between public and private areas. On the second level, complemented by panoramic views of both the eastern hills and the city, the more social part of the apartment unfolds, with the living room and study being two of the main spaces on this level. On the first level, the bedrooms converge in a lounge area that becomes the heart of this level, providing a space with the warmth of a social area while maintaining the privacy appropriate to this section of the apartment.

Year 2023

With the premise of developing an interior design project with a lot of personality while at the same time conveying a sense of tranquility, apartment IR focused on adopting the clients’ needs and delivering very particular spaces that had coherence among them.

 

From the flexibility of being able to open or close the kitchen space to the incorporation of a private space such as an office, the apartment feels like a whole where the transition between spaces is marked by thresholds both physical and imaginary.

 

Using a clear color palette mixed with the use of wood, apartment IR seeks to merge with the context, which is highlighted by a privileged view of both the urban and natural surroundings.

Convento S.C

Location Bogotá - Colombia

Use Institucional

Year 2019

This project, located in a tropical region of Colombia near Bogotá, surrounded by mountains and an ideal climate for disconnecting, is commissioned by a religious community to accommodate elderly sisters. The aim of the project was to create a comfortable living space centered around a courtyard.

 

The project seeks to be a tranquil place where living and sharing everyday life in community are paramount. Its architecture is designed to harmoniously enjoy the passage of time. We dedicated time to understanding the convent’s daily life and the importance of a space to sit and converse while listening to nature. The architecture was conceived to contemplate the passage of the day through the shadows that move across the corridors, the textures, or the airy ramps that connect the different volumes without the need for stairs.

 

This project stems from the reinterpretation of a non-orthogonal cloister, a space that must adapt to the geometry and topography of the site. The main materiality revolves around brick and its textures, except for a single element in the center of the courtyard, which is the chapel. This sacred space is white, stands out in context, and is the main component around which the heart of the project is articulated.

Year 2023

The interior design of this apartment was guided by the conviction to create minimalist spaces. Following a very specific color palette, complete cohesion was achieved in the apartment, allowing for the later addition, under appropriate conditions, of carefully curated furniture and artworks.

 

The management of light also played a very important role in this process. Depending on the space, special equipment was used to create specialized atmospheres, thereby accentuating what was accomplished in the architecture through the manipulation of light.

Basilio Paraíso House 24

Location Madrid - España

Use Vivienda

Year 2023

This 1920s house is located in the Fuente del Berro neighborhood in Madrid. We aimed to redesign the house to take advantage of its excellent location within the city and its privileged setting around a large garden.

 

By redesigning the entire house, we were able to modify the layout, which originally housed a religious community, to redistribute all levels and thus provide spacious, well-lit, and well-ventilated areas facing the greenery.

 

The goal was to design an ideal home for a family seeking to live in the city surrounded by a garden. The layout is resolved over three levels: on the first level, service areas connected by light wells and two workspaces; on the second level, or entry level, the kitchen and social area that connects to the garden through a porch; on the third level, the bedrooms.

 

With this renovation, we aim to offer the layout of a house typically found in the outskirts within a central area just a few blocks from El Retiro Park in Salamanca.
