Designing a Residential House in a Tropical Climate: Villa Pamplona
I was commissioned to design a residential house in a tropical climate with a focus on using natural materials such as wood, exposed concrete, and terracotta colors. To bring my vision to life, I utilized Archicad to produce project documentation and plans, and 3dsmax and V-ray to create realistic interior renders.
The first step in the design process was to carefully analyze the site's location and orientation to determine the best way to maximize natural light and ventilation. We also paid close attention to the surrounding landscape and aimed to incorporate it into the design as much as possible.
To ensure the house was as sustainable as possible, we incorporated a rainwater harvesting system and solar panels to reduce the dependency on external resources. We also designed the house with energy-efficient features such as good insulation and shading devices to keep the interior cool.
The house's layout was designed with flexibility in mind, allowing the owners to adapt the space as needed. Large sliding doors and windows provide an indoor-outdoor connection, making the most of the tropical climate and creating a seamless transition between the interior and exterior spaces.
The use of natural materials throughout the house creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the terracotta color palette adds to the overall tropical feel. The interior design was kept minimalistic, focusing on clean lines and functionality, allowing the natural beauty of the materials to shine through.
Overall, Villa Pamplona is a beautiful example of a modern tropical house that seamlessly blends sustainability and functionality with natural materials and a warm and inviting atmosphere.
