Description
Casa Libertad is a 340 m² residence conceived as a series of volumes organized around a central courtyard with a pool. The project aims to create a warm and open domestic architecture where interior spaces connect directly with the outdoors through corridors, terraces, and large openings. The composition is inspired by traditional Mediterranean typologies reinterpreted within a tropical context, using arches, galleries, and patios as elements that structure the spatial experience. The material palette combines warm-toned walls, stone accents, and dark carpentry that add contrast and depth to the architecture. The result is a contemporary residence that prioritizes outdoor living, natural ventilation, and the continuous relationship between architecture, landscape, and climate.

Details
Concept
The project is conceived as a house organized around a central courtyard that acts as the heart of the home and the main gathering space.
Spatial organization
The different volumes of the house are arranged around the courtyard and pool, creating covered walkways, smooth transitions between interior and exterior spaces, and a strong visual connection with the landscape.
Architectural language
The architecture reinterprets Mediterranean elements such as arches, galleries, and courtyards within a contemporary language adapted to the tropical climate.
Materiality
The materials aim to convey warmth and timelessness through the use of warm tones, natural stone, dark carpentry, and integrated vegetation.
Strategies
- Central courtyard as the core of the house
- Direct integration between interior and exterior
- Covered galleries for solar protection
- Natural cross ventilation
- Architecture inspired by Mediterranean typologies
