Colombian architecture studio PAE introduces a look at the Casa Caoba design, which is an open-air home that is ticked in the lush hillside of Anapoima. The house rests on what was once a mango grove and full of greenery. In terms of the design language, it boasts a minimal look that rests about 900 meters over sea level.
It is also supported by a stone foundation at the base that creates a steep terrain for the home. The Casa Caoba has five parallel walls that form four living spaces and boasts an open-air living space. Due to this structure, the home optimizes nature to naturally cool down the home and regulate the house's temperature.
