Mountain House / Coonvite

"Domesticate the mountain, make it part of the family life project, a biophilic house". The mountain is a place to build a home. The house is in the western mountain range of the Colombian Andes, in a rural area between the city of Medellin and the municipality of Guarne in the eastern highlands of Antioquia, with a humid tropical climate with average temperatures of 14 °C and relative humidity of up to 89%. Forests, agriculture, and the visual relationship between plateaus make up a diverse landscape in tension between natural conservation and cultural appropriation of the territory, which makes it ideal for families and young inhabitants who are making the decision to live in the mountains, looking for sustainable options in balance with the ecosystems.
