The Chilagua Master plan is a development project to revitalize a previously abandoned 30-hectare site in Nocaima, Colombia. This transformational project envisions the creation of 32 carefully designed parcels for second homes, embracing the unique challenges and opportunities presented by the site’s characteristics. The project aims to harmonize integrating human spaces with the natural environment while

1. Site Revitalization: The primary objective is to breathe new life into the neglected site, fostering a thriving community of second homes celebrating the area’s natural beauty and heritage.

2. Sustainable Off-Grid Living: The project aspires to be selfsufficient by incorporating innovative off-grid technologies. Each home will be equipped with solar panels to generate electricity and water collection systems to ensure an autonomous water supply.

3. Preservation of Natural Beauty: A central goal is to honor the incredible landscape nurtured by the founder’s grandfather three decades ago. The master plan will retain and enhance this existing green haven while providing homeowners with curated paths to experience and appreciate the lush surroundings.

4. Water Ravine Management: The project will thoughtfully address the four water ravines within the site, implementing erosion control measures and integrating them as natural elements in the landscape design.
