Retreat in Nocaima / Obreval

Located among the lush, rolling hills of Nocaima, Colombia, this small dwelling offers a contemporary, thoughtful, and sensitive reinterpretation of traditional rural architecture. The project revisits vernacular elements such as bamboo, sloping roofs, and open corridors, transforming them into intentional architectural resources that, while honoring their cultural, material, and environmental origins, also question them and establish new relationships with the landscape and climate.
