Casa Galería / Sommet

Cristina Popescu — Thu, 27 Aug 2026 15:00:00 +0000

Implanted on a steeply sloping site, Casa Galería begins with a fundamental premise: understanding topography not as a difficulty to be overcome, but as the condition that structures the project. The natural section of the terrain determines the implantation, organizes the program, and establishes different relationships between the spaces of the house, the vegetation, and the landscape.

Refugio House / DB Estudio de Arquitectura

Pilar Caballero — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 15:00:00 +0000

The project is a single-family home that presents itself to the street as a pure, compact volume, perceived from the front as a hermetic cube that reinforces privacy and the monolithic reading of the whole. Part of this volume is extruded outward to define the main entrance, creating a clear and controlled gesture that announces the entryway. This extrusion is materially distinguished by white walls, contrasting with the rest of the house—which is executed entirely in exposed concrete—reinforcing the reading of solid and void and the volumetric hierarchy.

The Pages Residence / Sommet

Valeria Silva — Wed, 25 Dec 2024 17:00:00 +0000

The Pages residence is located within a gated community on the outskirts of Santa Cruz. The property faces a green area of the community, allowing for open views from the house.

Casa G / Sommet

Valeria Silva — Mon, 18 Nov 2024 06:00:00 +0000

Located on a corner lot, the project “Casa G” stands out conceptually for its clear formal reading, where the structure itself becomes the protagonist, highlighting the balance between metallic elements and concrete surfaces. The steel beams and columns are articulated in a symphony of pure lines that support the concrete slabs, allowing the design to acquire a visual lightness despite the robustness of the materials used, creating a visual interplay that emphasizes the horizontality of the whole.

Ra House / Sommet

Valeria Silva — Wed, 30 Oct 2024 10:00:00 +0000

Located in a privileged area of the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, with an area of 800m2 on a plot of 5000m2, the RA house is immersed in a small forest, on the first line of the Piraí River. Implanted in a sloping land and with the premise of preserving all existing trees on site, two volumes are placed following same orientation, one on top of the other, the upper volume is displaced from the axis of the other, thus generating a cantilever on one side.

RF House / Sommet + Enciam

Andreas Luco — Thu, 10 Oct 2024 17:55:00 +0000

The RF House is located in a gated community in Porongo, Santa Cruz-Bolivia. The project was designed based on the existing vegetation on the site, which is why it consists of two volumes that intersect with each other, leaving open patios that embrace the trees in the area. The core of the house, both vertically and horizontally, is located in the center of the main volume, where a patio marks the entrance to the home.

Casa Puente / Sommet

Andreas Luco — Thu, 26 Sep 2024 10:00:00 +0000

“Casa Puente” meaning bridge house, is located within a gated community near Santa Cruz, Bolivia’s largest city. It has an area of 360m2 built on a sloped terrain of 750m2. The house is resolved taking advantage of the unevenness of the ground with two volumes. The upper volume sits on top of the slope with a north-south orientation minimizing the entry of the sun, while the lower volume is located perpendicularly at the lowest level of the terrain, such intersection results in a void that is perceived as a bridge, hence its name.

GP House / Sommet

Pilar Caballero — Mon, 08 Jul 2024 07:00:00 +0000

The project is located in a gated community, surrounded by vegetation. The house is located at the highest point of the lot, allowing for harmonious integration with the surroundings and better views. The arrangement of the volumes at the back of the lot, the semi-buried service floor and the landscaping minimize the visual impact from the street, reinforcing privacy and maintaining coherence with the surrounding landscape.

MS House / Sommet

Pilar Caballero — Thu, 14 Mar 2024 17:00:00 +0000

MS House, located in a gated community in Porongo, Santa Cruz-Bolivia, stands out for its volumetric game and formal clarity, where the construction detail plays a fundamental role in the project's image. With wood and glass establishing fluid connections between the interior-exterior and concrete as the predominant material, this residence embodies a harmonious synthesis of geometry and functionality.

Salatino House / Sommet

Benjamin Zapico — Wed, 08 Nov 2023 16:00:00 +0000

The Salatino house is located in a gated community in the municipality of Porongo, in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. The design of the house is characterized by its orientation towards the surrounding golf course, which functions as an integrated component of the outdoor space. This design responds to the idea of establishing a visual spatial continuity with the field, turning it into an organic extension of the private garden of the house.

Floresta House / DB Estudio de Arquitectura

Valeria Silva — Mon, 06 Nov 2023 16:00:00 +0000

Designed in a residential condominium with abundant endemic vegetation, the main premise of the project was to find a symbiosis between architecture and landscape. Seen from the outside, solid volumes of concrete predominate, giving the sensation of fluctuating over the vegetation. The morphology and layout of the volumes result from respect for the largest existing trees.

Molcruz Offices / DB Estudio de Arquitectura

Benjamin Zapico — Fri, 29 Sep 2023 10:00:00 +0000

A family business dedicated to the manufacturing of molded fiber trays, with more than 30 years in the market, developed a master plan to guide the growth and organization of its existing factory, with the office building as its first phase.

Quinta Quebracho House / BAC Arquitectura

Andreas Luco — Tue, 04 Oct 2022 16:00:00 +0000

Casa de Campo Quinta Quebracho is a weekend home and is located on a one-hectare property located in a rural community twenty-five kilometers from the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. Starting from the construction of the entrance to the property that did not exist before, we propose a path that will take us to the house located in the highest part of the place, within an irregular topography and surrounded by a native forest of exuberant vegetation.

Vania Masalías — Wed, 23 Mar 2022 17:30:00 +0000

Barrenechea House Extension / Cafeina Design

Agustina Coulleri — Tue, 12 Oct 2021 16:00:00 +0000

The proposal arises from a concept of a contemporary paradise evoked from an unusual discovery where the architecture while being peculiar, is feeding the imagination and providing a suitable space for relaxation and socialization.

SV House / Sommet

Pilar Caballero — Wed, 27 Jan 2021 14:00:00 +0000

SV House is located in a gated community in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. The terrain is completely flat and is surrounded by existing housing. From the street we can see a solid brick façade that creates privacy on the inside, however, the rear façade is completely transparent, introducing the exterior surroundings on the interior of the house.
