Article source: Carazo Arquitectura Natú, a hybrid project for its horizontality and verticality, is conceptualized by seeking to adapt to the terrain and thus modify the natural topography to the minimum, which allows the use of the views towards “Parque del Este”. Likewise, it is proposed to incorporate green areas to each housing unit through garden slabs. The volumetry and aesthetic quality is favored by the presence of its natural counterpart, seeking to provide a particular experience through the integration of natural ecosystems as circuits within the project.
