House at Neusa Lake_ Convergence of 3 Ecosystems
2006 Workshop Project
House at Neusa Lake_ Convergence of 3 Ecosystems
2006
Three different ecosystems were identified in an isle located in Neusa Lake in Colombia. As the three ecosystems are particularly interesting conditions, the work of site analysis was concentrated in looking for a place where the three ecosystems converged. In a certain place in the isle, a linear virtual axis articulates this 3 situations: Reticular Forest, Dense vegetation, Water and voids. The project for this house is focused on giving the opportunity to the inhabitants to enjoy, through architecture, the convergence of different nature manifestations.

The light frames on the roof reinforce the longitudinal sense of the project . A long open terrace allows the visitors to enjoy the tropical landscape.
All the green character of this rural area goes through the voids of the building, creating a harmonious composition between landscape and architecture.

GREEN TERRACE
A green terrace, composed by concrete grass containers, allows the visitors to enjoy open air views while being in direct contact with nature elements. Concrete- made light pockets bring sun light inside the bowling room and become part of the terrace configuration. The presence of water should attract birds and animals around. GreenTerrace Details
