The design looked to free half of the land for a front yard, to integrate the house to a open and fresh space and grow in heigh in the back space.

The front yard function as a meeting place with a large bench and a bamboo garden that controls access of direct sunlight; On the first floor are located collective uses (Living room - Dining room - Kitchen - washing room), on the second floor private rooms, studio and a shared bathroom, and on the third floor master room, dressing room and bathroom.

The patio offers the possibility to habitate the house with “open doors” all the time without sacrificing security or privacy, the space allows to extend the inner spaces to the patio, provides a place to park or do meetings outdoors.

I worked as architect by carrying out design proposals for the modernization project of Medellin main stadium, I supported the design from the bassic idea, to the project plans for technicians. I worked through the develop of architecture plans, drawn using autocad 2d. (facades,sections and plants of 5 floors)

The current stadium is only the field plus the graderies and the project idea was to conserve the existing graderies and create a new ring outside for people circulation and locate toilet rooms, restaurants, museums, stores, administration offices etc around those graderies; The first floor will be “a new basement” over ground, because the public entries and the entrance hall will be located in the current 2 floor. While in the ”new basement” will be located the parking spaces, main entrances to the teams, vip spectators, sports journalist, police, health services and will be located an auditorium, training rooms, dressin rooms, gym, dinning room. In the main floor will have the entrance to city soccer history museums, soccer team shops, restaurants and an big open space thought to do exhibitions and city events.
