Text description provided by the architects. A special residential project is hidden in the depths of the Colombian mountains of the Sierra Nevada, located on Vereda Bella Vista, via San Lorenzo. At a height of 1890 m, this two-level house is built for residential-holiday use reflecting the beauty of the ancestral indigenous land with contemporary luxuries and comfort, characterized by its impressive view and surrounded by the white veil of the clouds that generate the feeling of a house floating in the skies. The design was conceived in the interaction of two horizontally displaced volumes, adapting to the topography of the mountain and achieving a juxtaposition between the interior and exterior space. Its implementation in the north-east direction allows it to fully open to the landscape and permits the use of winds for air circulation and moderate sun exposure both in the day and in the afternoon.
