Source Summary

Casa Umbral is a completely isolated residence set in the heart of a lush, humid tropical environment. Awarded first place in the single-family housing category at the recent Regional Salons of Architecture and Urbanism organized by the Colombian Society of Architects, its concept stems from a simple yet powerful idea: architectural access is not merely a door, but an experience. It is a sort of entry ritual that becomes particularly meaningful in this location, where there are no defined urban limits and nature itself outlines the boundaries.
