Obreval
We grew to create a new team to deepen our historical construction expertise with design innovation and art exploration. Based in New York and Bogotá we design worldwide and buid locally. Our interest in architecture design lies in the mixture, balance, or contradiction characteristic of the discipline of being art and science at the same time. This “contradiction” is rooted in the beauty of the rites (materialized in the tower, the labyrinth, etc.) and the pragmatism of the protection (materialized in The Primitive Hut, the clothing, etc.). We are convinced that, within these paradoxes, our design generates new and unique spaces that enrich everyday life
