CHALLENGE: Maintain the view of the sea using the highest level of the land, making possible vehicular and pedestrian access through ramps.
SOLUTION: Taking advantage of the topography of the lot, a house is designed that supports a large part of its main structure on the natural terrain and leaves the entire front of the house cantilevered, creating a unique panoramic view with internal gardens that integrate with the landscaping design of the project..
Wind house is a house located in the area of Punta Roca, Colombia that is projected as a space to disconnect from everyday life, with four rooms, a social area and a kitchen totally open to the outside, they constitute the perfect space for family enjoyment .
Due to its location facing the sea, the design program seeks to overcome the challenge posed by strong breeze currents and high levels of salinity in the environment; Therefore, a plant barrier or windbreak curtain is projected at various levels with species characteristic of the area capable of reaching heights of 40 meters, which guarantees better ventilation inside.
The house is designed under the principles of sustainability: its orientation seeks to take advantage of the sun for the greatest number of hours in the pool and terrace area and ensure a direct view of the sea in each of its interior spaces. In its finishes, the use of materials with a low environmental footprint predominates, such as architectural concrete and reforested wood used to manufacture pergolas and lattices that filter the lighting from the outside to the inside.
