Il progetto si trova in una zona rurale nelle vicinanze della città Subachoque. In quest’area, caratterizzata da un terreno fertile e da un clima adatto all’insediamento di attività agricole e di allevamento, si è verificata una crescente richiesta di case private di lusso.
L’obiettivo del progetto Altamira è quello di trovare un equilibrio tra l’uso originale della terra, la protezione delle risorse naturali (foresta nativa e bacini idrici) e l’introduzione di una casa contemporanea per cittadini che hanno deciso di tornare alla campagna, alle origini. Altamira punta ad essere un nuovo modello di sviluppo sostenibile per questa meravigliosa ed unica zona rurale.
La casa è progettata come un organismo che si integra e interagisce con l’ambiente naturale che lo circonda. Il solaio tocca il meno possibile il terreno, minimizzando l’impatto con il suolo, permettendo lo scorrimento dell’acqua verso il bacino idrico ed evitando l’umidità di risalita. La foresta nativa è mantenuta intatta, così come gli alberi e le rocce esistenti. Infatti il design della casa deriva e si adatta agli elementi naturali esistenti, tra cui il percorso del sole e il paesaggio rurale.
Il progetto è inteso come un modello di fattoria per la vita contemporanea in campagna. La casa consiste in un’unità abitativa unifamiliare per una coppia che ha deciso di tornare alla loro città natale. Contrariamente alla tendenza locale di costruire case di lusso esclusivamente per il fine settimana, questo progetto mira a creare un modello agricolo su piccola scala, che includa una cooperazione a lungo termine con i locali. La collaborazione parte dalla costruzione della casa e prosegue con il processo agricolo, fino alla commercializzazione dei prodotti.
L’architettura è ispirata alla tradizione locale, sia per l’uso dei materiali, che per il controllo climatico passivo. Il progetto si presenta con una struttura portante radiale composta da un sistema di pilastro-trave su misura precostruito e messo in opera in cantiere. La casa si sviluppa su un unico piano, a due livelli, per seguire la pendenza naturale del terreno. La facciata, costituita da un'unica vetrata che da’ sulla valle, crea una forte connessione interno-esterno e, grazie ad un percorso che ne segue la forma, la natura circostante viene vissuta in pieno.
La conformazione della casa, adattandosi agli elementi naturali, risulta dinamica in quanto gira intorno a una grande pietra di cui se ne permette la vista grazie all’utilizzo di ampie vetrate
Questo progetto è l’esempio magistrale di come l’architettura possa perfettamente integrarsi nella natura, sfruttarne le qualità ed esaltarne la bellezza.
Altamira is a small scale farming project about 40 minutes drive from Bogota the capital of Colombia. The site is located at a rural area nearby Subachoque town, an area with growing development of private luxury houses in a land, which due to its fertile soil and climate, used to be mainly agricultural and farming. Altamira project objective is to find an equilibrium between the original use of the land, the protection of the natural resources such as the native forest and water basins, and the introduction of a contemporary house for city people who decided going back to the countryside, back to their origins. Altamira aims to be a new model of sustainable development for this astonishing beautiful rural area.
A light house as an organism that integrates and interacts with the natural environment
The house is designed to touch the ground as less as possible minimizing the impact on the soil and allowing water and underground water to keep flowing down towards the reservoir. As the house is lifted from the ground humidity in the interior spaces is avoided. The native forest is kept untouched as well as existing trees and rocks. In fact the form of the house derives from the views and position of the existing natural elements including the sun path and the landscape. The house inspires in local tradition in terms of spatial organization, all spaces are around a central patio inside which is one of the existing rocks. The structure is in laminated wood, all including the glazing and roofing are dry mounted, innovative building technique for the place, local workers will learn about.
A farm model for contemporary living in the countryside
Altamira project is a private investment that comprises the house for a senior couple which decided to go back to their hometown from the city. Contrary to the local trend of building luxury houses for the weekend this project aims to create a small scale farming model that includes the long term cooperation with locals starting from the construction of the house (as support to laminated wood and glazing companies) and following with all the agricultural process down to commercializing the products, looking forward to a positive impact on the local community and a step by step return of the costs to the owners.
Walking on the toes architecture
Architecture is inspired on the local tradition from typology, from the use of materials and from passive climate control, to generate a contemporary language that will integrate softly in the natural context with the lowest environmental impact as possible. The house is one floor height, actually with three levels in order to follow the slope of the ground. The central patio is conceived as cutting out a piece of the house in order to let the existing nature come inside, including natural light and wind. The terracotta roofs slope playfully integrating the house in the mountain, staggered for letting natural light in and exhausted air out, as well as opening views towards the vast mountain chain and the agriculture production fields. Skylights to admire the native forest, sky and stars.
The project has a radial load-bearing structure, composed of a pre-built custom-made pillar-beam system and put in place on site. The façade consists of a single glazed window overlooking the valley that creates a strong internal-external connection. An external path in front of the façade allows to a fully experience the surrounding nature. The conformation of the house fits to the natural conformation of the ground. For this reason, a dynamic space has been created on the back of the house, around a large stone, and large windows allows to a complete view.
This project is a masterly example of how architecture can perfectly integrate into nature, enhance its beauty.
