Nilo Houses: Minimalist Tropical Retreats Overlooking a Colombian Lake

Nilo Houses, designed by Alberto Burckhard and Carolina Echeverri, stand as contemporary architectural marvels on the Santo Domingo plateau in Girardot, Colombia. Commissioned by two brothers, each house boasts a unique design accommodating large social areas with direct views of the surrounding mountains and a serene lake. Featuring minimalist concrete volumes complemented by warm wooden accents, these residences harmonize with their tropical climate through generous openings and strategic sun screening. The integration of green roofs and carefully landscaped gardens enhances both aesthetic appeal and environmental sustainability.
