This residential building is the first of a series multi housing with a strong “out of the box concept: think different, be different” A hybrid club house that bind living, gathering and working

For the design of the entrance and ground floor, the main intent is to immerse users in the abundant greenery of this unique oasis. Also accessibility and parking bikes place were impotant.

In the ground floor common areas the biggest challenge was keeping several functions in one space without conflict of uses. The solution include modules that included nature with industrial and raw materials, in a sequence of spaces for interaction, recreation and working at the same time.

Tuti Barrera Boutique Hotel.

Design: Ana Maria Estrada S.

Client: Orvel construcciones SAS.

Location: Medellín, Colombia. 2018

My part in this project was to develop a conceptual design of the hotel Boutique An essential inspiration for the idea was the use of green as part of the composition and a conscious play between solids and voids understanding the climatic condition of the site and its context.

The proposal of the interior program has a strong association with the overlap volumes that composed the building. Open or close facades area a mutual response with the context interaction and functionality of the spaces.

For the design of the entrance and ground floor, the main intent is to immerse users in the abundant greenery of this unique oasis.

Designed with a welcome deck on the left side of the main entrance and an interior garden on the opposite side with direct sun light, the atmosphere is very welcoming.

The colors are soft and warm and the textures according to the new trends of raw and natural materials. The floor is laid with polished beige granite embedded with gray grains.

Goa is a state on the southwestern coast of India within the region known as the Konkan, and geographically separated from the Deccan highlands by the Western Ghats features a tropical monsoon climate under the Köppen climate classification. Goa, being in the tropical zone and near the Arabian Sea, has a hot and humid climate for most of the year.

According with the local weather conditions, the plot orientation and dimensions and the current vegetation, the house main entrance faces the north east and the rest of the programs follows bio climatic recommendations to decrease the energy consumption and provide light, shadow and wind coherently

Academic Work

Master´ s Thesis: “Housing for immigrants. A Settlement for Co existence of Communities, Case study in Ibarra, Ecuador ”

CUM LAUDE Mention. Piacenza, Italy 2016

Theoretical research with collaboration of: Arch Behdad Bolouhar and Arch. Cesar Sanchez.

Main Objective

Design a settlement in Ibarra, Ecuador for mixed community population (Colombian refuges and local Ecuadorians), with the concrete social background of violence and force displacement, and with segregation, safety and poverty as the main issues to take into consideration in the proposal.

Master´s Thesis: “Housing for immigrants”.

The proposal takes place in Ibarra, and Ecuadorian city located in the northern part of the country, close to the border with Colombia, and particular located in the route of the interstate highway Panamericana.

Ibarra daily received refugees from the neighborhood country that flew as a result of the constant violence and threat in the country side, place where they live mainly from the agriculture of self consumption and small business.

The theme is developed on the relationship between artifice and nature. This exchange takes place along an edge located such as may be a topographical void. The interaction that occur between those arriving and those leaving such a different culture that comes to colonize space and curiosity that comes out to make new ones Along the topographical void it defines a place, a “third Landscape”, poor and invade green areas are located

Modulation

The core serves for different magnifications and types. Housing spaces are based on a modulation that minimizes the loss of material and allows the reuse of the partitions for extensions This, coupled with the proposed construction of timber bamboo (Guadua) from the region, reduces its carbon footprint. Core

A sustainable core consisting of 3 walls of high thermal inertia is established: 2 perimeter that absorb solar radiation and a center that uses the heat of the kitchen. This space is permanent, bringing basic services for human habitation; Kitchen, bathroom, stairs and corridor running centrally

Internal dinamics prediction

Master´s Thesis: “Housing for immigrants”.

Technology Materials

The main structural and constructive materials are local, they include Timber Bamboo (locally called Guadua). Its rapid rate of biomass production, renewability, high level of CO 2 fixation and storavge, wide diameter, long length, and durability are distinctive and highly desirable features which can benefit the new built environment Research interest in Guadua construction increased significantly after many Guadua constructed buildings withstood or suffered only minor damage during an earthquake which reached 6 2 on the Richter scale in 1999, resulting in the standardization of Guadua in the seismic resistant Colombian code (NSR, 2010)

Social Situation of the district where the Project is placed:

In the Business Centre, two realities coexist

On the underground, there are municipal parking lots were the absolute masters are mice and rats, walking among condoms thrown on the stairs and hung on the railings A bit everywhere syringes used by drug addicts, even men's briefs, rags were thrown to the ground, and empty bottles to testify bivouacs night

The distance of a few meters decrees the obvious difference between the usual location of prostitutes and drug addicts and that of judges, lawyers, clerks, businessmen walking in a citadel that can not be said to be perfect but where cleanliness is assured, and so is the service. Same situation for waste bags practically empty Here and there beds of weeds and brushwood, nothing sensational in front of the destruction of its mosaic fountain no longer exists

Is it possible to enhance the value of the new business center of Naples as an sustainable and environmental system?

Environmental solution according with the shape, orientation and high of the buildings:

- Solar analysis have been made with a climatic software, which provides information about the best orientation for the residential buildings.

- Naples weather database were also studied to undestand wind directions, humidity level and radiation during different seasons in order to used the proper materials and space distribution

Project strategy

Understanding the symbiotic relationship that existed between man and nature in ancestral cultures, we do not start from the memory of the common past that we still have but from the need to preserve a place in the future The study of natural systems from sustainability in the midst of the abundance of information facilitates access to knowledge of the problems caused by man It is this temporary context where the project is considered as a strategy to find urgent solutions to unforeseeable problems that imply survival, such as water problems

Revitalizing from the core

Intervention Phases:

1 Public Space Control

The proposal includes an integral analysis of traffic and pedestrian flows to and from the sector at present and in the future, analyzing the incidence of new mobility systems such as the elevated metro that would affect the sector

2. Reconnect

At the level of physical intervention, the proposal is emphasized in 2 perpendicular axes that determine the development and connectivity of the sector with the historic center and the periphery

3. Revitalize

The revitalization of the sector as a cultural and historical center of the city is proposed based on the activation of the patrimonial axis of 11 street and the cultural environmental axis of 10 street as the main interconnection routes with the periphery and the administrative historical center of the city

Urban strategies

Public competition of ideas Voto Nacional and La Estampilla area, Bogota, Colombia.

Cultural Environmental Axis

Broad environmental axis that frames buildings of heritage value, accompanied by hexagonal modules that act as street furniture and include commercial stalls for informal vendors.

Commercial Spaces

Preserving and reinforcing the heritage value of the buildings in the area, commercial passageways are generated accompanied by vegetation and urban furniture The buildings that have two floors are enabled for commerce, using the terrace slabs to generate restaurantes with great visual

Public Park

Large park with active and passive spaces for people's recreation. It acts as an articulating green lung in the center of development of housing and commerce
