Cabin Design - Estudio Chavarro

This project proposes a series of cabins in Ibagué conceived as intimate living spaces that engage directly with their surroundings. The design focuses on creating a spatial experience that feels open, calm, and connected to the landscape. Through a careful balance of proportion, light, and materiality, the interiors are designed to feel both contemporary and rooted in place. Openings, transitions, and visual axes are used to extend the perception of space, allowing the exterior to become an active part of the interior atmosphere. Developed in collaboration with Estudio Chavarro, the project reflects a collective design approach where simplicity, clarity, and attention to detail guide each decision—resulting in spaces that are both functional and emotional.

Located in Ibagué, Colombia, this project explores a contemporary approach to cabin design through a strong connection with local identity and materiality. Developed in collaboration with the team at Estudio Chavarro, the design draws inspiration from regional craftsmanship, particularly the traditional black ceramics of La Chamba.

Material Concept

The material selection is driven by a desire to create a direct and honest connection with the natural environment. The palette emerges from the textures, tones, and tactile qualities found in the region, embracing materials that feel grounded, warm, and inherently authentic.

Inspired by local craftsmanship—such as the deep, earthy character of the black ceramics from La Chamba—the project prioritizes elements that carry a sense of origin and cultural continuity. Natural fibers, raw finishes, and muted tones are combined to evoke a quiet and balanced atmosphere.
