它位于哥伦比亚咖啡地区的中心，更确切地说，是在佩雷拉市的郊区。该地块毗邻自然保护区Barbas Bremen，安第斯山脉的美景和公园的动植物激发了设计的灵感，并鼓励建筑师充分利用它们。事务所对这些挑战的回应是，在公园一侧创建一个尽可能透明的房子，同时保持对通道的隐私感。

It is in the heart of the coffee region of Colombia, more specifically in the outskirts of the city of Pereira. The site is adjacent to the Nature Preserve Barbas Bremen, the beauty of the views of the Andes Mountains and the park’s flora and fauna inspired the design and encourage the architects to take the fullest advantage of them. The firm’s response to these challenges was to create a house as transparent as possible on the park side while maintaining a sense of privacy over the access.

房屋的规划是创造一个现代版的传统西班牙庭院，并允许空间环绕它，并在社交空间和私人区域之间提供视觉连接。位于海拔约1700米的地方，气候相当温和，白天温度高达23摄氏度，晚上温度低至14摄氏度，壁炉成为起居/用餐区设计的关键，在晚上的社交活动中充当聚集点。材料调色板是极简主义的。它采用了传统的哥伦比亚砖、贯穿房屋所有空间的洞石地板和不锈钢瓦片外墙的组合。金属外墙及其镜面效果不仅反映了邻近森林的绿色，而且反映了热带气候的橙色日落的活力，使房子在一天中的不同时间感觉相当独特。

The planning of the house was to create a modern version of the traditional Spanish courtyard and allow the spaces to surround it, and provide visual connectivity between social spaces and private areas. Located about 1,700 meters above the sea level the climate is quite mild w temperatures as high as 23 degrees Celsius in the day and as low as 14 degrees in the evening, the fireplace became key to the design of the living/dining areas and acts as the gathering point during social evening activities. The material palette is minimalist. It uses a combination of traditional Colombian brick, the travertine flooring used throughout all the spaces of the house, and a Stainless-Steel Shingles Facades. The metal façade and its mirror-like effect reflect not only the greenery of the adjacent forest but the vibrancy of the orange sunsets of the tropical climate, making the house feel quite distinct at different times of the day.

可持续性对建筑师来说从一开始就非常重要。房子收集雨水，用于厕所和花园，以及引进太阳能电池板和电池组，作为电力备份系统。房屋的南北朝向有助于最大限度地减少午后时段的热量摄入，同时允许自然交叉通风。房子里既没有机械加热系统，也没有空调设备，因此最大限度地利用了该地区的气候条件。

Sustainability was from the onset very important to the Architects. The house harvests rainwater to be used for the toilets and garden as well as the introduction of solar panels with a battery pack to function as an electrical backup system. The north-south orientation of the house helps to minimize heat gain during the early afternoon hours while allowing natural cross ventilation. Neither mechanical heating systems nor air conditioning devices were included in the house, maximizing therefore the climate of the region.
