Hacienda Cachí

iDEA

A reddish hill overlooks a lush valley of lagoons and streams. Nothing is missing—abundance fulfills every need. Here, architecture is meant to contemplate rather than be contemplated.

Place, light, and water breathe life into form, freeing spaces from artificial networks. A series of frames allow the architecture to rest lightly on the landscape. Beyond the shelter of its dwellings, the experience invites reflection, observation, and the luxury of silence.

Hacienda Cachí embodies a vision of freedom, self-sufficiency, and lasting sustainability. It is a legacy of peace, contemplation, and security—where beauty is found in simplicity.
