Greenhouse for coexistence of plant and human life in El Carmen

Salazar Sequero Medina 


In this project carried out by the practice of Laura Salazar, Pablo Sequero, and Juan Medina, two adjacent asymmetrical volumes form a greenhouse and a semi-outdoor living room, creating a hybrid of the agricultural and the domestic. In a vernacular architectural language, the design applies strategies for shading, ventilation, natural lighting, and modulation.

The base of the walls, the floor, and the chimney are built as solid, monolithic objects. A plinth of recocho brick – a type of reused annealed brick – rises to 2 meters, and a metal structure beside it gives it a lighter image.
