Casa en Santa Fe
Santa Fe de Antioquia, Colombia
HOUSE IN SANTA FE
This project is located in a dry tropical forest ecosystem with an annual average temperature of 28 degrees centigrade uniform throughout the year, characteristics of the valley of the River Cauca. Due to this, bioclimatic factors such as generating shade or taking advantage of natural ventilation was decisive in the design.
TOPOGRAPHY
This house adapts to the topographical conditions of the plot of land which was modified previously: a sloping hillside was cut to generate a flat area and a steep rear slope. In light of this condition the house uses the flat area, but it tries to restore the outline of the mountain locating the high areas with two levels behind and the lower part in shade towards the front. In section a low corridor is defined towards the scenery and rooms in two levels towards the slope, connecting them by means of a leaning roof in reinforced concrete which conducts the winds from the low areas to the higher ones.
MODULES
In its floor plan the house is defined from four modules that wind around a tree and the distant scenery of the River Cauca. In the first module the main bedroom is placed, the second and fourth modules are assigned to the guests’ bedrooms, and the third is for service and social areas. The modules connected by a corridor define a concave exterior space in which the pool and recreation areas are placed. The fragmentation in modules and the change of angles allow the house to grow its façade surface exposed to the natural air currents and increase in this way its permeability.
CORRIDOR
In this case, like in the traditional architecture of the region, the corridor works like an open living space, long and in shade, to hang hammocks and enjoy the distant view. To control the sun and to be able to close this space in some occasions, big metal sliding doors were defined with a 60% perforated pattern allowing natural ventilation even when this space isn’t open. The house has been placed so that the corridor is in shade most of the year.
