Casas del Cielo

Concept + Development: Stefana Simic
Technical Advisory: Simon Velez
Location: International Tropical
Year: 2020

During the COVID pandemic, no other building type was questioned and criticised more than those at urban scale - the apartment building, the office building, the skyscraper.

Casa del Cielo is feasible urban scale building that integrates a mixed material approach, celebrating and utilizing natural materials in strategic areas to make the user feel as if they were in in a tropical home - yet they are elevated, in the sky, capitalizing on scenic views, air and light.
