Located on the urban perimeter of Fusagasugá, on a 6.5-hectare site, Entreverde aims to become a paradigm of sustainable urbanism. It envisions a dense, compact, mixed-use, and green city where public space becomes an educational and productive realm, intertwining ecosystems, communities, culture, and information technologies.

The project’s main goal is to weave together three historically overlooked elements:

• The historic Cobblestone Path to Cuja (departmental heritage site).
• The El Mosqueral creek and its riverside promenade.
• The Jaramillo Arango Estate, designed by Vicente Nasi in 1935 as Colombia’s first modern-style house.

The strategy is to create a linear park, inspired by Bogotá’s Parkway in scale and function, integrating housing, culture, low-impact commerce, and local facilities. This park forms the project’s backbone, connecting private developments around a tree-lined public space featuring pedestrian pathways, urban gardens, edible forests, bike paths, and vehicular roads, fully accessible to the broader community.

A core design premise is to abolish fences as barriers. Instead, it proposes an active edge for the residential complexes: two-story platforms with commercial spaces and open, tree-lined forecourts with seating areas, fostering public space activation through a co-creation process.

Entreverde is conceived as a living system that fosters continuous interaction between residents and the landscape at multiple scales. The urban design connects existing natural and cultural assets, respecting the existing trees and promoting biodiversity through a green corridor. Courtyards, balconies, front gardens, green roofs, tree-lined sidewalks, parks, and plazas are all expressions of a unified strategy to rehumanize and renaturalize a city that has grown rapidly and chaotically.

This private initiative is a bold commitment to a more open, pedestrian-friendly, democratic, and ecological city.
Entreverde is life, more than just housing.
