Casas Prado are horizontal pavilions that maximize the view over the dam.

The project proposes 12 houses on a rock in the Prado reserve.
The horizontality of the pavilions allows their easy layout on the inclined ground.
The composition of each house rescues a traditional type of Colombian rural housing; The pavilion of juxtaposed spaces allows each one to have the best view towards the lagoon. In front of the primary spaces there is a gallery that serves as circulation, balcony and protection from the afternoon sun.
Given the complex conditions of the lot, the load-bearing structure in metal profiles facilitates transport and assembly.
The complete set appears before the lagoon as a series of platforms that enter into communion with the slope and do not interrupt the view of each other.
