In Medellín, a contemporary apartment turns emptiness into its most inhabitable space through a cube that both conceals and reveals.

Conceived within a residual sublevel of a building in Medellín, Colombia, this 310 sq m duplex apartment begins with an unusual condition: a vast void nearly six metres high, originally devoid of programme or spatial hierarchy. What might have been a limitation becomes the project’s conceptual core. For Danny Rozo—founding architect and creative director of OA+—the real challenge was not filling an interior, but constructing architecture within emptiness. “The intention was never to simply design an interior. It was about how to live architecture inside an interior space,” Rozo explains.
