Published by Mesa Estándar, Anfitrión / Host presents Felipe Uribe’s work in extensive detail, blending photographs, drawings, and architectural concepts with images and notes on his daily life, passions, habits, and core principles. This biographical publication functions as both a project catalog and a personal archive.

It is located in a warehouse complex totaling 4,500 square meters, originally built for textile manufacturing workshops and wooden furniture production.

The structure consists of reinforced masonry walls with curved metal roofing—featuring columns and trusses—in one block, and gabled wooden roofing—featuring columns and oak trusses—in the other.
