About Rombo IV
Nature’s Embrace in Modern Design
Nestled in the leafy enclave of Bosques de las Lomas, Los Rombos stands as a fusion of four structures, attuned to the city’s heartbeat. Trees, our silent yet expressive guests, root the design in a dialogue with nature. As a result, the complex offers a lush, continuous canopy, reinforcing the tree’s role as a treasured city dweller. Fountains and mirrors further this interaction, enhancing the verdant reflections that are vital in urban expanses.
Creating Intimacy in Urban Architecture
The exterior shields its inhabitants from prying eyes, opening only to the sky, air, and sun, offering solitude amidst urban bustle. In addition, the design crafts a quiet haven from the city’s relentless pace, prioritizing privacy and tranquility in residential living. Photos may capture the architecture’s contours, but they miss the essence of materials, the interplay of hard and soft, warm and cool, the spaces speaking with the rustling leaves, the fountain’s murmur, and the hush of silence. Moreover, a photograph cannot embody the garden’s aroma or the scent of incense. Therefore, Los Rombos doesn’t just stand as an architectural achievement; it is a space craving to resonate with the nuances of light, born from an innate desire for closeness with oneself and repeated experiences of architectural wonder.
