Casa Cibeles is located in the municipality of La Ceja, a territory characterized by open landscapes, gentle topographies, and a strong presence of native vegetation. This natural environment not only frames the project but also defines its starting point: to conceive a dwelling that respects the land, reduces its footprint, and allows the landscape to maintain its continuity.
The initial challenge arose from the need to inhabit without interrupting, avoiding invasive interventions that usually alter the natural condition of the soil. The response was to elevate the house to free the ground level, allowing biological life and the natural drainage of the terrain to remain intact.
The climatic conditions of La Ceja, particularly the low nighttime temperatures, established habitability requirements that were resolved through thermal and acoustic insulation systems, ensuring comfort and energy efficiency.
The project is intended for a young family with contemporary dynamics: active social life, connection with the outdoors, spatial flexibility, and the need for private areas for remote work. From this mix of requirements emerges an architecture that combines openness and intimacy, always prioritizing respectful integration with the environment.
The concept of Casa Cibeles is based on the idea of lightness and continuity: a dwelling that does not rest on the ground but floats above it, allowing nature to circulate freely. This strategy reduces environmental impact and transforms the soil into a living space that breathes beneath the architecture.
The interior spatiality is conceived as a large continuous void, where opening the main door reveals an uninterrupted visual axis. The structure is left exposed as a sculptural element, giving identity to the project and turning construction technique into part of the aesthetic language.
A prominent component is the canoe, reinterpreted as a leading architectural piece. Beyond its function, it is projected as a formal gesture that extends the volume and reinforces the sense of protection.
The design responds to contemporary lifestyles through integrated and flexible spaces, complemented by a second level that offers privacy for work and an intimate terrace to contemplate the landscape. The result is an architecture that balances transparency and shelter, technique and emotion, integrating powerfully yet respectfully with its surroundings.
