The Twins Houses from Felipe Gonzalez Pacheco

These are the twins houses from Felipe Gonzalez-Pacheco. Located in Bogota, Columbia, these houses were designed for the families to grow independently or together. The architect designed two family houses very much alike.  These houses are like a piece of luggage. There’re two concrete containers, each one bent in to an L shape depend on each other to live individually.

Each house complements its neighbor to configure the central patio. The plain containers made out of ocre concrete. There’re also the concrete walls that bend and fold to show the plasticity of the material and to let the light play. The last bent container makes the space for the owner’s studio on the second floor.
