Text description provided by the architects. This hotel is built in one of the blocks of the orthogonal urban fabric of the traditional neighbourhood, El Poblado, in Medellín. The new construction completes the block and pierces it, creating a pedestrian crossing, an internal park and new semi-public spaces: a passage, stairs, a courtyard, a podium, platforms, terraces and a covered square. The building itself is an urban crossing with a permeable configuration. It has several accesses and is surrounded by native vegetation. This building is designed so that the daily life of the city coexists with the activities of the hotel and its users. It has been conceived as an epicentre, a centre of diverse cultural events that seek to promote local creative industries through art, gastronomic events, fairs, concerts, theatre, nightlife and various types of recreation. The life of the hotel and the city are to be mixed and to complement each other.
