Casa Aire is ‘zero flex’, to put it in the reggaeton lexicon of its owner. J Balvin, born José Álvaro Osorio Balvín, is famous for his ability to cross borders and persuade superstars such as Pharrell Williams, Beyoncé and Ed Sheeran to sing with him in Spanish, as well as regular team-ups with fellow Latino superstars Benito ‘Bad Bunny’ Martinez, Nicky Jam and Daddy Yankee.
The cantilevered outdoor dining area offers views over the surrounding native woodlands, including some distinctive yarumo blanco trees, towards the La Fe reservoir near El Retiro Casa Aire is Balvin’s third foray into residential architecture with 5 Sólidos. The trusted collaborators were also called on to build his first property, Casa Dos Aguas; decorate the Medellín offices of his production company, Vibras; and transform his three-storey penthouse in’s New York landmark, 520 West 28th Street. 5 Sólidos’ vision of minimalist design with a haptic hue resonates with Balvin. ‘They definitely know how to read me,’ he says.
