A Renewal of Life

Hosteria Pehoe

2023 January - May

Redesigning the Hostel Pehoe in Torres del Paine National Park. Located at the edge of Pehoe Lake, this one-of-a-kind site offers breathtaking views of the natural beauty of Patagonia. However, the existing hostel is old and falling apart, not offering the comfort and hospitality that visitors to the National park desire. This project aims to create a new hostel that not only provides a place to stay but also rejuvenates visitors after their challenging treks through the park. The design process was informed by studying the axis of the site and its surroundings, as well as the contours of the land and the movement of the infamous Patagonian winds. With this project, I hope to provide a space for Hospitality in an inhospitable part of the world and contribute to the sustainable development of tourism in Chile.
