Architecture Design of B33 House

Description About The Project

B33 House, skillfully designed by Alejandro Restrepo Montoya + Estudio Central, stands as a captivating interplay of solid and open elements gracefully arranged on the ground, support the upper horizontal structures. This distinct language of contrast manifests in the harmony between the filled and empty spaces, the natural and the altered. As well as the solid and transparent components, forming a striking volumetric composition characterized by voids, domestic functions, and the interplay between vertical and horizontal elements.

The journey towards the house unfolds through a series of thresholds and patios. Guiding visitors along a path adorned with shadows and various open and covered outdoor spaces, serving as a transition towards the interior. Entering the house is a delightful experience, as it entails passing through natural and constructed transitions. Then gradually revealing the interior while being immersed in nature and outdoor areas. Inside, an open floor plan welcomes inhabitants, seamlessly integrating social activities with the kitchen. Also, fostering a sense of oneness with the landscape that envelops the architecture of the house.

The house is a compelling study in contrasts, showcasing a formal interplay of solidity and lightness, beautifully captured in its materiality. The masonry walls coated with dark and light grey concrete represent the solid elements. While the metal mezzanines enhance the structure’s sense of lightness and serve as a complement to the exterior contrast. Inside, warm and inviting living spaces are formed by natural wood cladding, floors, and ceilings. Seamlessly integrating domestic uses with natural elements that adorn both horizontal and vertical surfaces. The architecture gracefully connects with the natural surroundings, embracing the local vegetation, water, and vistas, harmoniously blending with the materiality, colors, and functionalities of the B33 House.
