​

Located in the upper area of ​​the Sopó Valley, the house is characterize by being in the midst of a landscape of high ecological and aesthetic value. We proposed an extension to the current house built in a typical architecture style of the Colombian Altiplano. We start from the premise of making contemporary architecture always looking for a harmonious relationship with the existing house and using local materials, easy to execute and find.

​

The proposal contemplates the extension of the living room and a separate construction to house the main bedroom. The brick work is a remembrance of the popular constructions of the area generating a serene atmosphere in the interior.

​

We always seek respect for the environment by enhancing the best views of the project and surrounding the construction with gardens of typical species in the area.
