The commission consisted of remodeling a 263 m2 house, which is part of a residential complex of 12 units designed by architects Camacho and Guerrero in 1977, prominent figures of the modern movement in Colombia.

With the intention of revitalizing a family home and adapting it to current living conditions, the renovation aimed to maintain the basic lines of the original design within a contemporary proposal that would meet the client's needs. The house program comprises a master bedroom with a dressing room and bathroom, two bedrooms, a guest bathroom, living-dining room, social bathroom, office, laundry area, and patios.

The design of this house was felt and conceived for the other, for others, for a family composed of different forms of life, people, pets, and nature. This residence was designed and tailored to the clients and aims to tell a story of empathy through each of the components that articulate the project.

The main determinants in the design were: landscaping and the inclusion of vegetation inside the house, allowing the space to come to life and transform over time; the natural lighting and clarity intended for each space without prioritizing their uses; generating an interior design proposal from the furniture elements owned by the owners, so that each of these continued to tell its particular story but as part of a unified concept.

The main challenges of the project were: creating a sense of spaciousness and clarity despite the introspective nature of the house; fostering a dialogue between preexisting elements of over forty years and contemporary languages incorporated into the design, resulting in a feeling of harmony and cohesion within the house's interior.

The project was carried out over eight months, meeting the established schedule and budgets at the beginning of the work, thanks to the commitment, communication, and follow-up by the designer and the builder.

It can be said that the challenges set in the commission were fully met, and the clients were satisfied with the result. However, it's worth clarifying that from the beginning, the house was conceived as a living laboratory that must respond and adapt to the needs that arise over time.
