CASA CHIA

1,460 SF – CHIA COLOMBIA

Architect – Carolina Jaramillo

Interior Design – Mery Sofia Pinzon @soluciones_remodelaciones


Located in the beautiful and quiet savannah of Bogota in the historic town of CHIA, surrounded by the aroma and fresh air of the mountains. Casa Chia was inspired by the typical colonial architecture of the Colombian culture. The design intention was to propose a

combination of modern architecture with typical colonial materials such as brick with a stucco finish, integrating with the environment but directing its character in the area.

This charming two story single family project, composed of a social area located on the first level with a double height open space that allows natural light to enter through the clerestory that surrounds the area. The living space on the second level is connected to each other by a passage that provides a completely open view to the first level and a vertical metallic connection with wooden links that accentuates and preserves the concept of open space in the space.

Natural light, open space, preservation of materials and colonial modernism are the basic concept of Casa Chia.
