Located to the east of Medellin, this house intends to frame the view of the Antioquia mountain landscape.
Within the green landscape, the house rises from the ground and extends into a concrete volume in the first level, that slides horizontally over a second volume clad in Black Buenaventura stone veneer. The design language of the facades is complemented by the use of wooden blinds covering the windows of the bathrooms, exposed steel girders and glass. This horizontal movement of the volumes creates vanishing points aimed at different angles of the landscape.
The main entrance is located at the confluence of the different volumes of the house. The entrance is through a ramp that floats over a reflecting pool which enters the house. The hall, sheltered from the sun by a wooden pergola, is a kind of preliminary step leading onto a new landscape, consisting of a double height social space housing the living room, the chimney, the dining room and a fully open kitchen, in an area that is connected and open to the exterior through a cantilevered deck over the garden.
