DAVID VELASQUEZ ARCHITECT
Proyects
My independent projects explore the relationship between architecture, landscape, and everyday life. Each design responds to its context with a focus on openness, comfort, and a strong connection to nature. These works reflect a personal vision that balances creativity and functionality, offering spaces that invite contemplation, gathering, and new ways of inhabiting.
Viewpoint cabin
This project in Minca proposes a dwelling elevated on stilts, aligned with the views of the mountains and surrounding landscape. Raising the structure minimizes site impact and creates the experience of living suspended in nature. The design is defined by its visual impermeability, ensuring privacy while maintaining openness to the horizon and a strong connection with the natural environment.

Tigrera House
Casa Tigrera, located in Santa Marta, takes advantage of the sloping terrain by elevating the social area to capture views of the Sierra Nevada. Above it, a linear block houses the bedrooms, ensuring both privacy and privileged mountain views. The design incorporates terraces and a pool, creating a seamless connection between indoors and outdoors. Conceived as a vacation rental, it offers spaces for gathering, contemplation, and enjoyment of the natural surroundings

Minca House
This project in Minca is located on a sloping site and designed for a family with a client with disabilities. The house is organized through a system of terraces connected by ramps, ensuring accessibility and spatial continuity. The volumes blend with the topography and landscape, creating open social areas, a pool, and private spaces adapted to family life. The design prioritizes mobility, comfort, and a strong connection with nature.
