Nola Cabin / Yemail Arquitectura

Valentina Díaz — Wed, 10 Sep 2025 02:00:00 +0000

Ethics, in principle, is about considering the other: the body of water in front of us, the soil and its microscopic inhabitants, the morning and afternoon light, the possibility of a tree traversing space without disturbing the birds' nest, or having the best conditions to gaze at the sky between canopies.

Atelier Tropical House / Yemail Arquitectura

Pilar Caballero — Tue, 23 Jul 2024 06:00:00 +0000

The project responds to a hybrid program format that mixes retail with cultural space on the first level and residential units connected by an interior courtyard on three levels. It promotes the idea of re-inhabiting a neighborhood that during the last decade has been transformed into an art district, introducing multicultural elements to the neighborhood and its inhabitants.

Punta Casitas Cabin 1 / Yemail Arquitectura

Pilar Caballero — Thu, 21 Dec 2023 14:00:00 +0000

In the steep rocky mountain ridges that contain the lake of Tota, at 3015 meters above sea level, lies Punta Casitas. Just at that limit where the semi-paramo vegetation vanishes, we wanted to experience the mystical force of the object lost in the landscape. And that chain of previous attempts that brought us here makes us suspect that, although there are no two alike, each refuge is capable of containing them all. This means that the history of a hut is the history of all huts and that, even if only for an unconscious moment, they can stir the depths of our memory to the dream of the womb, the first human shelter.

Wills House / Yemail Arquitectura

Valeria Silva — Sun, 03 Dec 2023 13:00:00 +0000

A cabin stands on the edge of a hill overlooking the valley of Cota, a municipality in the savannah of Bogotá, at an altitude of 2566 meters above sea level. The house finds its origin in the story of another built in 2007 in Sisga, which served as the founding project of our office: a butterfly-cut cabin built with the selvages discarded by sawyers when cutting down a pine forest. The vocation to dispense with the unnecessary is the common thread that connects the questions of then with those of now, and as a whole with that appreciation of the primitive life that is in the promise of inhabiting a cabin.

Goethe-Institut Renovation / Yemail Arquitectura

Valeria Silva — Tue, 27 Jun 2023 13:00:00 +0000

The renovation project of the Goethe-Institut in Bogota is rooted in the search for a place that would allow the public to experience more than just the teaching of the German language. How can diverse forms of cultural exchange be brought together in one place? How can simultaneity be activated amidst difference? How can the intensity of meeting days be revived? How can everyday spaces be established for cooperation?

Museum of Historical Remembrance of Colombia Pavilion / Yemail Arquitectura

Pilar Caballero — Mon, 25 Apr 2022 00:00:00 +0000

During the 2018 Book and Culture Festival, the museum Museo de Memoria Histórica de Colombia (Museum of Historical Remembrance of Colombia) installed the pavilion Voces Para Transformar a Colombia (Voices to Transform Colombia) in the park El Parque de los Deseos, where stories of pain and courage that have been ignored for a long time are exposed.

Elita House / Yemail Arquitectura

Andreas Luco — Fri, 04 Mar 2022 20:00:00 +0000

La Elita is a single-family housing project located in a rural area near the city of Pereira on the road that connects with Armenia, at an altitude of 1411 meters above sea level. The project can be summarized in the question of the possibilities that architecture has to invent a new ground on a "non-existent" lot. We refer to a residual property with a small trapezoidal plateau that falls abruptly.

Espacio en Blanco Cultural Center / Yemail Arquitectura

Pilar Caballero — Fri, 11 Feb 2022 14:00:00 +0000

Seven years ago Espacio en Blanco was inaugurated, a dividing building on a 5 x 22-meter lot whose structure activates the heart of the block with an open first floor that opens completely to the city. A central void allows the passage of light and levelled stairs constitute diaphanous links between the spaces.

NC LAB Pavilions 2016 / Yemail Arquitectura

Valeria Silva — Thu, 10 Jun 2021 15:00:00 +0000

Nc lab is a laboratory of creative experimentation that takes place every two years in Bogotá and that emerged as an alternative artistic pedagogy proposal within the framework of the Educational Project of the NC-Arte Gallery. The project seeks to build spaces for collective creation and multidisciplinary artistic experimentation during four days, where more than a hundred people participate, including artists, mediators, and the general public.

Binario Gallery and Studio / Yemail Arquitectura

Valeria Silva — Mon, 29 Mar 2021 14:00:00 +0000

Binario is a cultural project that mixes workshop spaces, a store, terraces and a flexible space that, in the words of Alejandra Molano and Andrés Felipe Pardo, the minds behind the whole project, houses creative practices such as visual arts, design, music and theatre in small formats.

MACONDO Pavilion Architecture / Manuel Villa Arquitectos + Oficina Informal

Igor Fracalossi — Tue, 27 Oct 2015 12:00:00 +0000

An entrance hall, an exhibition area and a library with dining area, are the spaces that make up each year a pavilion of 3,000 m2 that welcomes the guest country at the International Book Fair of Bogota. On the occasion of the 28th Book Fair, Macondo has been appointed as the guest, after the fantastic universe created by Aureliano Buendia in One Hundred Years of Solitude, the greatest literary work of Gabriel García Márquez.

Conolove / Oficina Informal

Igor Fracalossi — Tue, 24 Feb 2015 14:00:48 +0000

Conolove is a small restaurant that occupies part of a colonial style house located in an area of architectural conservation in the Water Sector in Bogotá.
