Practice note01 / 03

Not a signature.

A way of paying attention.

Andamio begins with what is already present: the direction of light, the temperature of a surface, the scale of a gesture, the memory held by a room.

The result is architecture with atmosphere - exacting, tactile and made to be inhabited rather than merely observed.

Warmth
with discipline.

Dark marble anchors the room. Timber wraps its edges. The palette is quiet, but never neutral.

The work is most alive where precision leaves room for life to happen.

The studioColombia

Local
intelligence.
Open horizons.

Andamio is a contemporary Latin American architecture and interior design practice led by Colombian architect Santiago Muñoz.

Each project is approached as a particular world: climate, craft, furniture and use are considered together, at the scale of both the room and the hand.

Sofía
Sierra.

An architect educated at Universidad de La Salle, Sofía Sierra brings more than ten years of experience designing and developing projects across retail, hospitality, workplace, residential and—especially—gastronomy.

Drawn to gastronomy and to the way spaces shape experience, she enjoys moving through, inhabiting and understanding each place through its details. For Sofía, design also means taking a seat at the table, enjoying a good buñuelo and discovering everything a space can tell.
