The CR house by Vélez Valencia Arquitectos stands in Pereira

 

Vélez Valencia Arquitectos introduce The CR House, a sustainable retreat nestled in the city of Pereira, Colombia, designed to connect with its surroundings and offer comfort. The countryside home is situated in a privileged location with views of the nearby mountains and is enveloped by lush bamboo groves. Drawing from a modern take on the traditional courtyard, the heart of the house welcomes visitors within an open circular space, surrounded by a vibrant tropical garden, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The social area boasts a transparent design, integrating the living/dining space with the expansive pool terrace, ideal for hosting family gatherings and embracing the outdoor area. The private areas ensure tranquility and intimacy with strategically placed windows while enjoying the natural vistas.

The CR House embraces the principles of Biophilic Design

 

The design incorporates three bedrooms with walk-in closets and bathrooms, separate study areas, ample social space, a service apartment, a garage, and storage areas. Embracing the principles of Biophilic Design, the design team at Vélez Valencia Arquitectos establishes a direct dialogue between the environment and the house, increasing comfort, and enhancing the overall quality of the space. Sustainability is a key focus, with cross-ventilation strategies reducing the need for air conditioning and a rainwater harvesting system ensuring responsible consumption of natural resources, serving both bathroom use and garden irrigation.
