Text description by the architects. This commission involved renovating and adapting a traditional two-storey house in the Provenza district of Medellín, transforming it into shared workspaces, small apartments and shared services. Converted a few years ago into offices for a local real estate company, the house had a stable structure with load-bearing walls, floors, roof and wooden ceilings, which we decided to renovate and preserve.

Plan – 1st floor

On the first floor, we proposed a new lobby that activated the front garden and maintained the existing staircase, locating a shared work area, private rooms and a shared bathroom. On the second floor, we designed four apartments, different in size and natural light. These spaces share a work area and a laundry area. The new intervention is focused on the existing back garden, which we covered with a triple-height translucent roof and a permeable wooden ceiling, without touching the walls of the house. In this way, we created a new activity platform, expanding the co-working space and connecting the apartments and the common area through a semi-private bridge.

Section – Profile
We proposed a new staircase in the patio, integrating the new space with the existing house. We kept the existing primary colors and colors, light walls and brown tones, and introduced new materials in a similar range. Finally, we proposed new warm artificial lighting and controlled natural lighting in all spaces.
