Role of Alternative Futures: Design and Project Development
The Mountain House is designed for a client who has property in the mountains above Bogota.
This project is an ecologically friendly dwelling that blends the functional needs of a family with a clean design language. This residence sits in the clearing of a forest on a challenging steep terrain located in the municipality of La Calera. The house is hinged over the topography and oriented in such a way that it offers moving views of the rugged landscape. The orientation also contemplated passive heating strategies to take advantage of the solar path. Rammed earth has been chosen as the constructive system in order to provide thermal mass and a sensitive aesthetic to this rural environment..
