QUIENES SOMOS

CÂPÂ / Estudio de arquitectura. Liderado por Catalina Patiño & Juan Pablo Ramos, su principal interés es diseñar proyectos a diferentes escalas: una casa, un museo, un jardín infantil, un interior, un objeto de mobiliario.

En CÂPÂ / Estrategias de diseño, Cada proyecto implica una reflexión donde convergen distintas ideas y aspectos; cada uno de ellos tiene su propia manera de hacerse.  Nos interesa estudiar diferentes aspectos en cada encargo, estos aspectos dependen de su complejidad y escala, algunos de ellos son: cuál es su ubicación geográfica y cuáles son  esas coincidencias de paisaje y materiales encontradas en estos lugares. Como se va a habitar y cual será la relación entre los objetos, la luz y las personas.

Pensamos que cada proyecto es singular. Nos interesa tener un vínculo muy cercano con los usuarios. El proceso constructivo de nuestros proyectos es artesanal, de manufactura e insumos propios, trabajamos de la mano con artesanos que participan en el desarrollo de nuestros proyectos. Trabajamos con materiales nobles, naturales; concreto, madera, metal, ladrillo.  

We are Juan Pablo & Catalina. We founded CÂPÂ in 2015 a small studio located in the countryside of Medellín on a beautiful green mountain. We are both architects from Medellin; Juan has been a teacher at the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana UPB and at the moment is teaching at Eafit University. He has a master degree in Urban and environmental processes from Eafit. Catalina has a specialist degree in Complexity Architecture from the University of Alicante and has also been a teacher at UPB and Eafit Universities.

We are a small studio located in the countryside of Medellín on a beautiful green mountain. In the last few years our studio has focused its practice on single housing projects. 

As a studio, we seek to have ethical fair wages and working conditions, putting great effort into working with local manufacturing, and sustainable processes.

We are not interested in flat ideas. We create projects that might build a new topography and a single relationship with the landscape, sloping roofs and cristal walls are part of them. Some of them start from a modular piece to create flexible spaces, multiple configurations and facilitate building processes.

We think each project is unique and the construction process is made in an artisanal way. Our manufacturing and supplies are local, we work hand in hand with artisans who participate in the development of our projects. We like to work with noble and natural materials and use them in a raw way; concrete, wood, metal, brick are some of them. We care about the details and we are always creating new ways to resolve them.
