The “Garden House” is a family house in Acacías, Colombia.
The house is organised in 3 volumes split in 2 levels forming a skewed "C" shape. This configuration creates a series of gardens that mark the main central access to the house. An internal garden defines the area of the stairs designed as floating wooden steps and each of the rooms has an external garden or terrace. The connection between the interior and exterior is ensured throughout the house to provide a constant enjoyment of the exuberant tropical vegetation as well as to allow cross ventilation.
The design is slick, minimal and modern with pronounced angles and superposition of volumes adapted to the local conditions.
The house was completed in 2016.
