Lead architects Candelaria Posada and María José Arango focus on structural efficiency.
Trópico Arquitectura has finished the Yarumos Apartment, a 115 square metre residential project in Medellín, Colombia. Completed in 2021, the design targeted a young couple with a focus on optimizing financial resources. Lead architects Candelaria Posada and María José Arango developed the space by leveraging the existing structural spatial characteristics of the building. This approach allowed the team to deliver a functional living environment while maintaining a controlled budget. The project, documented through photography by Teodoro Posada, demonstrates how specific spatial constraints can guide design decisions in urban apartment renovations. By working within the original frame, the architects avoided unnecessary structural changes, ensuring the layout remained both efficient and cost-effective. The final result emphasizes the practical application of architectural design to meet the needs of residents within a defined footprint in a dense city environment.
The project illustrates how working designers can deliver high-quality residential outcomes by prioritizing structural logic over costly modifications. It highlights the importance of resource optimization when creating bespoke spaces for clients with budget constraints.
