With the aim of transforming and renewing the services provided by the COMFANDI compensation fund and generating a new fresh and contemporary image of the entity, the architectural project “UMBRALES; Programmatic landscapes and articulators” as a trigger to achieve this goal.
Located in the Arroyohondo headquarters of COMFANDI between the shared limits of the cities of Cali and Yumbo, the project is strategically positioned on the property through “thresholds” and interstices to enhance and reconfigure the landscape, environmental and urban values of the place. The project takes as its premise the respect for the existing vegetation and the frontal environmental relationship it has with the hills, it spreads through the trees without affecting them, it adapts to the topography and emphasizes the visual ones towards the mountain range. The project is longitudinal environmental extensions of the hills towards the interior of the property, transversalized by the architecture, generating patios and a constant interior-exterior relationship.
It unifies landscape, urbanism and architecture through spatial sequences between trees, buildings and voids.
