该项目位于热带干旱森林生态系统中，年平均温度为28摄氏度，全年均匀，这是考卡河谷的特点。正因为如此，生物气候因素，如阴影的产生或自然通风的使用，在设计中具有决定性意义。

This project is located in a tropical dry forest ecosystem, with an average annual temperature of 28 degrees Celsius that is uniform throughout the year, a feature Cauca River Valley. Because of this, bioclimatic factors such as the generation of shadow or the use of natural ventilation were decisive in the design.

地形
这座房子适应了早先修改过的地形条件：一个倾斜的山坡被切割成一个平坦的区域和一个大的后坡。鉴于这种情况，房子利用了平坦的区域，但试图恢复山的轮廓，将两层高的区域放在后面，而低的区域则放在前面的阴影下。在截面上，我们定义了一条通往景观的低矮走廊，以及朝向斜坡的两层房间，通过一个倾斜的钢筋混凝土屋顶连接，引导风流从低处到高处的通道。

TOPOGRAPHY
This house adapts to the topographical conditions of a lot that was modified earlier: a sloping hillside was cut to produce a flat area and a large rear slope. Given this condition the house makes use of the flat area, but try to restore the profile of the mountain locating the high areas with two levels to the back, and the low areas shaded to the front. In section, we define a low corridor to the landscape and rooms with two levels towards the slope, connected through an inclined reinforced concrete roof that leads the passage of the wind currents from the low to the high areas.

模式
在平面上，房子由四个模块组成，围绕着一棵树和考卡河的远处风景。第一个模块包含主卧室，第二和第四个模块各包含两间客房，第三个模块是社会和服务区。这些模块由一条走廊连接，定义了一个凹形的外部空间，游泳池和娱乐区就在这里。模块的分割和角度的变化使房屋增加了暴露在自然气流中的立面面积，从而增加了它的通透性。

MODULES
In plan the house is defined by four modules coiled around a tree and the distant landscape of the Cauca River. The first module contains the master bedroom, the second and fourth modules contain two guest bedrooms each, and the third has the social and services areas. These modules connected by a corridor define a concave exterior space where the pool and recreation areas are located. Fragmentation in modules and angle changes allow the house to increases its facade area exposed to natural air currents and thereby increase its permeability.

廊道
在这种情况下，正如该地区的传统建筑一样，走廊作为一个开放的、细长的阴影区，可以悬挂吊床，观看远处的风景；为了控制阳光，并在某些情况下关闭这个区域，大型金属滑动门被设计成60%的穿孔模式，即使在空间不开放的时候也可以自然通风。房子的位置使走廊几乎一年四季都能保持阴凉。

CORRIDOR
In this case, as in the traditional architecture of the region, the corridor acts as an open, elongated shadow area to hang hammocks and watch the distant landscape; To control the sun and to close this area in some cases, large sliding metal doors were designed with a pattern of 60% perforation, allowing natural ventilation even at times when the space is not open. The house has been located so that the corridor remains shaded almost all year.
