ARCHITECTURE GENERAL CONTRACTOR CLIENT
Jonnathan Padilla Constructora Escobar SAS Rivera-Diaz Family
As lead architect for the Riverdi Building in Bogota, Colombia, it was necessary to overcome two major challenges: The six-unit structure had to be customized to fit the individual needs of one multigenerational family while maintaining the baseline design and remaining within budget. In addition to the client’s needs, the firm was committed to promoting Riverdi as its first residential project, utilizing the construction site as a showcase/showroom for future clients and stakeholders.

Riverdi was developed as a five-story building. It is surrounded by predominantly low rise houses; from one to two-story buildings. Nonetheless, the neighborhood is addressing a rapid transformation towards higher density units. →
About twelve different façade variations were evaluated with the owners during an iterative design process. → Repetition of rectangles in different sizes composed the façade. For singular elements, we used a repetitive module of composition comprised by three rectangles. Five different materials were used following the rectangular grid. ↓
A regular geometry and composition were the norm in the architectural design, from Schematic Design through Construction Documentation phase. → As a result, a volumetric symmetry emerged. The stairway and the internal patio are the joint for both, front and back wings. ←

Outdoor Learning Center Los Angeles, California 2120 sq. ft. / 197 m² Educational, PROPOSAL 2016 Jonnathan Padilla Urban Design Committee WNG Steering Committee
The Westwood Neighborhood Greenway (WNG) is a place where a combination of low-tech and landscape strategies will meet to clean and conserve water, while also providing an island of native habitat for fauna, next to one of the newest Metro stations in Los Angeles, Westwood-Rancho. The Outdoor Learning Center (OLC) is a proposal to elevate WNG’s goals, which aims to create an urban oasis. This will be a space devoted to young students and their educators, where they can gather in an emblematic and open spot to conduct their teaching-learning activities.

Ceiba, Puerto Rico 6247 sq. ft. / 580 m² Residential, PROPOSAL 2016 Jonnathan Padilla + GRM No Limits Team No Limits Co.
NO LIMITS (NL) is a housing prototype in the predesign stage by an international team of entrepreneurs. Its goal is to incorporate cutting-edge technologies such as 3D-Printing during construction and occupation. Determining what kind of occupant would live in NO LIMITS twenty years hence was a profound challenge. This problem affected expectations and goals the design team had to address. This prototype proposes to offer innovative living space for millennial owners. 18

↑ NL represents an opportunity to experiment, discuss and virtually build different innovative types of housing. NL design is based on a horizontal hexagonal module (L=14’). This basic module is subdivided regularly in three sections. Each section depicts a pentagonal shape (170 sf). This module is again subdivided in halves, resulting in a diamond shape (85 sf).

A large range of proposals were evaluated, distinguishing those which had more feasible modular morphologies. SD 1. This proposal depicts a light twoheights volume. The envelope is comprised by inclined elements. →
All NL vertical elements (envelope and internal divisions) were designed parametrically using a variable triangular base. Some of the elements keep a perpendicular angle to the soil while some others have different rotation and inclination angles.
↓
SD 2. This is an example of a dense, two-heights volume. There are internal patios to reduce build density. →
SD 3. This is a design based on a one-height only. Distribution of spaces are almost linear. →

The internal distribution of the house is based on hexagonal/triangular geometries and their regular subdivisions. They shape the house functionally and structurally. Technical requirements for NL included the need to have a low carbon footprint. Different strategies, most of them regarding tropical architecture are being implemented in this prototype. In Puerto Rico’s housing, it is necessary to design for cross ventilation, open spaces and the reinterpretation of vernacular design.

Bio Home is a project presented for the Corona ProHabitat Award in Colombia. It was initiated to advance the wellness and living conditions for farmers in Colombia’s coffee producing areas. This design competition aims to find and develop better practices in architecture for providing affordable and sustainable farmer-housing. Bio Home (BH) guarantees a set of conditions to improve daily work and standards of living to the first links of chain which are: coffee growers and their families. 24

↑ During the design development stage, several criteria were established to provide better performance of the house such as: social facts, environmental performance, available budget, geographical conditions, codes and regulations.
To provide the growers with a flexible structure, BH reads like a modular design, starting from a module of 8’x4’. →

↑ Due to weather conditions on the construction site, the roof is designed on different angle-slopes. They help with air cooling, creating a positivenegative pressure. Because of the intense weather conditions in this zone, it is advised to use light hues of colors on facades and white/cooling roofs.
