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..
El Paraíso is a house located in the Palomino area, Colombia. It is a house designed for its surroundings, its location responds to the idea of having a direct view of the sea from all interior spaces and that in turn takes advantage of natural resources to project continuous shade on its terraces. It is a house that hides among the characteristic vegetation of the area and opens up to the environment thanks to a glass facade that allows the boundaries between interior and exterior to be blurred.
The architectural program consists of two rooms, a large living room and kitchen that extend across the garden with a large terrace. Large skylights are distributed in this same orientation that create soft contrasts of natural light and shade inside. The furniture design is made to measure to adapt to the house, predominantly wood and concrete type finishes, generating a contemporary and slightly rustic atmosphere characteristic of beach environments.
There is paradise on Colombian land, a place where the view is lost in the infinity of a blue sea and the waves are heard when waking up each morning. El Paraíso, a house designed for its environment in which natural resources are used to project continuous shade on its terraces facing the sea and with skylights fill all its interior spaces with natural light. The transparent glass facade connects you to experience the encounter of nature in the foothills of the Sierra between the jungle and the sea.
