Set of homes located in Paipa-Colombia, located in the urban area of the city, which manages to capture the perception and visual attention of its inhabitants for its color, scale and architectural proposal. The project is conceived as a refuge that is capable of providing protection, adaptation to the context, less environmental impact and sustainable comfort.
The house is configured as a composition of robust vertical and horizontal planes. Heavy stoned walls on which the covering rests.
Its design avoids the box as a spatial container, it disfigures it, supresses some of its sides and extends the others as a strategy to catch the near and far landscape, building a single space with it.
The project was formulated as a series of isolated volumes, a village of knowledge that takes the organic character of the natural context of the place and the “small scale” of its users, (children between the ages of 4 to 6). The units are articulated through a covered circulation that forms a patio or an “amorphous cloister” with abundant landscaping.
KARIBIK ( KBK ) is a brand that brings forward a new universe full of fashion , color and comfort with which young vanguard groups are identified as individuals.
The approach of the store design was to create a contemporary space in which the brand could express the urban – Latino identity that defines it, and that was also replicable , functional, with character and personality and that allowed KBK to speak directly to its target through different, avant-garde and high-recall elements and spaces.
The brand has presence in cities across the country and currently has 12 stores in Medellin, Bogota , Apartado, Soledad and Rionegro.
ÁGORA-BOGOTÁ will not just be like any convention centre used by sporadic visitors who have little contact with the city, but aims to ascend to the category of a public building infused into all citizens’ imagination. Therefore, all efforts have been concentrated on meeting collective as well as specialized demands. First and foremost, it offers an image which represents the aspirations of a society in transformation and that resembles an environmental sensitivity and technological ambition which inscribes the building in today’s concerns. The specialized demands focus on practical aspects such as circulation systems, both public, delivery and personnel, easy and comprehensible; an invisible but hierarchical and interconnected distribution of all the internal services that embodies the logistics’ scheme of the building; and a concept of flexibility that accepts the programming of very diverse formats, from a concert to a trade fair, from a congress to a film festival of from a grand banquet to a chess championship.

The comprehension of a metropolitan scale is fundamental at the moment of thinking in an integral architectonical answer. More than solving a need for the expansion of the hospital, the project should commit to solve more of what it is requested, taking advantage of the good location of the intervention area. The project is located in a place in the city where two of the main avenues: 9th and 7th avenue almost connect. Our proposal looks forward to be a diagonal connector and work as a catalyzer for new flows, activities and human relationships.
The Center for Cancer Research and Treatment project promoted by the Luis Carlos Sarmiento Angulo Foundation aims to provide the city of Bogotá with a specialized state-of- the-art cancer treatment center that meets the highest international standards.

The aim for the project is to establish a project that enables the biggest amount of urban connections and the development of public spaces. To achieve this, there are several proposals such as enabling the roofing of the building as public space, empowering meeting places and developing viewing-points which overlook the city.
A house of rest for an artist and his family, a patio house, with a square plan, a regular object in a natural environment, on a terrain with a slight slope, near the long mountain in which is embedded the sacred lagoon of Iguaque. This location generates the idea of the main visual orientation of the house: The volcanic cone where the lagoon is.
With approximately 16000m² of buildings and 21000m² of exteriors and landscape design, the Rochester School’s Master Plan aimed for a strategy which reflected its own concept of academic community. Thus, as a premise, the HUBS (grouping system) appeared, looking for an educational model that integrate teachers and students disregarding grades and therefore fading out the traditional hierarchy of school formation.
