Patio House Comprising Several Gardens that Fill it with Freshness and Illuminate Everything

This structure of modern forms is populated in its interior with several gardens that fill it with greenery and freshness. It was designed in the year 2017 by the team of the architectural firm CONNATURAL, made up by the architects Edgar Mazo and Sebastián Mejía, and assisted by Santiago Hurtado in the development phase.

It is located in the city of Medellin, in Antioquia, Colombia and covers a total ground area of 550 square meters.

It has a swimming pool area completely surrounded by thick natural vegetation which protects it and gives it a generous touch of privacy and freshness.

Inside, we find concrete walls, hardwood floors, and beautiful gardens all around.

The house is distributed across several levels, which is why it is not strange to find wide stairs that go up and down, connecting the rooms and creating divisions between the spaces.

A large number of glass windows fill the walls, allowing light to enter the home and create a play of shadow in its interior.

In the central area is a landscaped space, a kind of terrace in which sits a small table with chairs that serve as a corner of relaxation – and a very cozy one, indeed.

  • 1110 apartment

    Measuring just 62m2, the apartment is located in a new building in Hanoi. Every unit of this building is small and is designed for young families. The original plan contains two bedrooms with compressed functions. The whole space is divided into small rooms. The renovated concept is to break the stifling sensation of closed rooms to create a new space where functions intertwine softly, flexibly and the natural light can enter the deepest corners. In the new design, a bedroom is removed to expand living space. A bathroom is converted into the washing room and storage. The balcony became a green space, connecting living space and bedroom. Finishing materials and furniture aim for simplicity, natural and rustication. Furniture are made to serve their very purposes, and not to put pressure on the space. Many old wooden parts have been reconfigured into two tables. Glass is used to show the structure of the tables and to avoid casting shadows on the wooden floor. The indigo plywood cabinet and the yellow cement wall cover the kitchen and are the highlight of the living space. With a small area, good quality of life can be achieved just by balancing the functions in a harmonious way; accepting to abandon some needs and to change our lifestyle.
