Medellin · Colombia
Castropol
Castropol is a highly traditional neighborhood in El Poblado. Unlike the loud, club-heavy streets of Provenza or the heavy traffic near Parque Lleras, Castropol is quiet, leafy, and strictly residential. It sits at a higher altitude, which gives you cooler evening temperatures and spectacular views of the Aburrá Valley.
This project was designed with the modern remote worker and entertainer in mind. The building includes a dedicated coworking space and a Social Kitchen for hosting private dinners without trashing your own living room. Security is a 24-hour staffed portería, which is standard for high-end Medellín buildings but executed very strictly here. The architecture leans heavily on sustainable design principles, maximizing cross-ventilation to reduce your reliance on air conditioning, which is a smart play given rising local energy costs.
