Plan B Architects

Plan B Architects is a Colombian architecture firm whose documented work includes cultural, residential, landscape-related, and sports architecture. The firm is particularly associated with the Orchidiarium at the Medellín Botanical Garden, a prominent structure developed in collaboration with JPRCR Architects. Its portfolio also includes the V House in Bogotá, indicating an engagement with contemporary residential design, and work assisting architect Giancarlo Mazzanti on the Medellín Sports Coliseum. These projects place Plan B within Colombia’s contemporary architectural scene, where interdisciplinary collaboration and responses to urban and institutional settings are important aspects of practice. Publicly available reference material identifies the firm and several projects but does not establish its founding year, founders, ownership structure, headquarters, leadership, website, financial profile, or current operating status. Accordingly, this entry focuses on the firm’s documented architectural activities rather than attributing additional corporate or biographical details.

Plan B Architects is identified in reference material as a Colombian architecture firm. The available record does not provide a founding date, founder biographies, organizational history, or a detailed chronology of the practice. Its documented body of work nevertheless shows participation in several notable Colombian projects. One of the firm’s best-known works is the Orchidiarium at the Medellín Botanical Garden, designed in collaboration with JPRCR Architects. The project is described as a towering botanical-garden structure and represents Plan B’s involvement in architecture connected to public cultural and environmental institutions. The collaboration suggests a design approach developed across architectural and landscape-oriented concerns, although the available reference does not provide sufficient detail to characterize the project’s construction process, program, materials, or later modifications. Plan B Architects also designed the V House in Bogotá. This project establishes the firm’s presence in contemporary residential architecture and demonstrates that its documented work extends beyond public or institutional commissions. No reliable details are available in the supplied sources about the house’s clients, completion date, location within Bogotá, architectural program, or subsequent status. In addition, the firm assisted Giancarlo Mazzanti in designing the Medellín Sports Coliseum. This role places Plan B within a collaborative project involving a major sports facility and indicates experience contributing to large-scale public architecture. The available source does not specify the precise scope of Plan B’s assistance, the stages of design in which it participated, or the firm’s contractual relationship to the project. Beyond these projects, publicly available material supplied for this dossier does not establish Plan B Architects’ present-day leadership, ownership, headquarters, employee scale, international activities, awards, or commercial structure. The firm’s current status is therefore recorded as unknown rather than assumed to be active. Further research in Colombian architectural directories, project archives, professional publications, or the firm’s own records would be needed to develop a fuller institutional history.
