In the middle of a mountainous topography that overlooks the valley on which Medellín is located, this home is integrated into the natural landscape through different levels, slopes and terraces. Accessing the house means discovering it through the topography routes. The first steps lead to a plain that is shaped by the configuration of the land where the parking lots, the social area and the service area are located. The arrival plaza hints at the main access as the resulting void between the geometries of its volumes.

March 10, 2024 Valeria Silva 0

The project is renovating an old bridge. The bridge is located in the center of Kang County, Gansu Province, at the confluence of two rivers, 200 meters away from the county government. To the north of the old bridge is a commercial street, to the west a kindergarten, and to the east a residential area. But the mixed traffic of people and vehicles poses a danger to pedestrians and slow traffic crowd and also affects the operation of the commercial street. The new bridge reduces vehicular traffic and is planned as a pedestrian-friendly area along with the commercial street. Meanwhile, the new bridge extends the commercial street, creating not only more diverse and comfortable public spaces but also a new landmark for the county town.
