For architectural practices designing Colombian homes, the natural context is a constant source of inspiration, ranging from incorporating vegetation as interior architectural elements to framing nearby landscapes. When designing spatial perception—whether from within or without—nature is an undeniable component of these projects.

Located in the municipality of La Calera, La Casa Potosí seeks to make the most of the area's characteristic natural landscapes through two courtyards that emerge to connect the surrounding mountains and lakes with the contemporary architecture inside.
