Located in the neightborhood of Manila, in the city of Medellín, Colombia, the hotel is a piece that settles abstracting the geometries and fabrics of pre-Columbian art, while integrates into the natural exuberance of the trees that are part of the street where is located. Gardens are induced in the geometrical feautures of the project to be enriched and exalted as an extension of the street, sa well as the permeability that the tropical weather allows.

Three green voids make up the project. The urban void on the main façade with local vegetation in the front garden and balconies. The spiral central patio contains the vegetation that ascends to the terrace and extends following the geometry of the roof like a canopy.

And the backyard with a vertical garden that acclimatizes the rooms that are related to it.

While the concrete block enclosures become chromatic fabrics, the balconies on the façade have a simple but forceful play of geometric figures. The central courtyard, which is perceived as an ascending spiral, extends the public space from the first floor to the terrace (public restaurant). The terrace cover conceived as an oval makes geometric reference to the “Muisca raft”.

The color of the metal structure “Tropical Grapefruit” is inspired by the sunset of the city of Medellín, contrasting with the blue of the sky and the green of the mountains.
