description This article documents the development of a comprehensive project to design and analyze a sustainable rural house, adapted to the conditions and needs of rural communities in Colombia. The proposal seeks to offer an efficient and replicable housing solution, capable of addressing the challenges of housing deficit, environmental sustainability, and the socioeconomic conditions of Colombian farmers. The site was selected within a Peasant Reserve Zone using georeference tools and geographic information systems, evaluating key aspects such as topography, weather conditions, and access to natural resources. The architectural design optimizes functionality and includes bioclimatic strategies and the use of local materials such as compressed earth blocks and bamboo. Additionally, renewable systems such as solar panels and an ecological wood stove were integrated. The comparative analysis between the sustainable house and a conventional model showed clear advantages in terms of costs, energy consumption, and carbon footprint.
