About La Cima 주택
라 시마(La Cima)는 콜롬비아 시에라네바다 데 산타마르타에 위치한 연면적 340제곱미터의 주택이다. 이 주택은 산의 지형을 따르며 대지에 대한 개입을 최소화하도록 설계되었다. 지속가능성, 기밀성, 자급자족성이 설계를 이끄는 원칙이다. 배치 방향은 생기후적 원리에 따라 지역의 기후와 일조 조건을 고려해 결정되었다. 넓은 유리 파사드는 산과 도시, 바다의 전망을 액자처럼 담아내며, 온실 효과와 벤투리 효과가 실내 온도 조절에 기여한다. 지역에서 조달한 자연석과 티크 목재, 그리고 지붕의 태양광 패널이 사용되었다.

- Unique Properties
- La Cima is a 340 m2 house, located in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia. It was conceived as a space in total harmony with the natural environment by integrating it with the topography of the mountain. Three basic concepts are reflected in its design: sustainability, airtightness and self-sufficiency. The project is created from bioclimatic architecture premises: characteristic climate of the area and sunlight, to determine its orientation. Natural phenomena such as the greenhouse effect and the Venturi effect were used.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- La Cima is a 340m2 house, located on a 27 hectare lot at 1,475 meters above sea level. With a total height of 7.4 meters, it was conceived on two levels: the first level with a builtin area of 181 m2, housing the social areas (living room, dining room, kitchen) and service areas; and the second level with a built area of 138 m2 houses the intimate areas of rooms and bathrooms. The 360 m2 outdoor area in terraces, swimming pool, parking lots and gardens.

- Production Technology
- The materials selected for the project are mostly local and low maintenance, such as the natural stone used in the facade and driveways, as well as the teak wood used in interior cladding. For the structural system, pvc and architectural concrete are selected, which are environmentally conscious materials; they comply with sustainable manufacturing processes, they are recyclable and with minimal environmental footprint indexes. To ensure the energy efficiency of the house, solar panels are placed on the roof
- Design Challenge
- The main challenge of the design was to generate a sustainable home with low environmental impact, where the environment was an envelope of the space and where in direct view of the sea and the mountains of the sierra. Facades were conceived with large glass windows. This solution is one of the determining architectural elements, because in addition to allowing a direct view of the environment, it allows the entry of controlled natural light and the regulation of the temperature of the interior spaces thanks to the greenhouse effect; thus minimizing energy consumption and ensuring the sustainable operation of the home.
- Research
- The design team investigated the environmental and construction variables of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, focusing attention on bioclimatic and sustainable strategies applicable to housing design. The passive design principles corresponding to natural ventilation and solar control were studied. This research resulted in the generation of a solar chimney through roof skylights and a photovoltaic energy panel system.
- Inspiration
- La Cima is inspired by the unique and characteristic natural habitat of the Colombian Sierra Nevada, seeks to integrate into the environment and intervene in the terrain as little as possible. The purpose of the design is to explore the architectural relationship between the interior and the exterior, blur the boundaries between the constructed and the natural and ensure a friendly and sustainable construction with the environment. Materials of natural origin are combined with a landscaping design with characteristic species of the area.
- Project Duration
- Design Date:
The design phase of the project began in January 2021 and construction began in June 2021.
Location: It is located in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia - Operation Flow
- The construction is oriented to the west with a direct view of the city of Santa Marta. The main access is in the southeast direction, entering the social area that integrates the kitchen, dining room and living room areas. Thanks to the glass facade, the user can see the mountains of the sierra in an eastwest direction and the city and the sea in a northwest direction. The natural slope of the land is used to the north to generate a double height area from where the user can enjoy a view of the landscape. To access the second level, a metallic helical staircase is generated that leads to the three rooms
