CRISTINA PELAEZ INTERIOR DESIGN PORTFOLIO
WHO AM I? (954) 918-1593 cristinapelaezh@gmail.com
Question everything.
All my life, I have been filled with curiosity. Filled with a longing to understand the world and make connections from one occurrence to another. Today, this longing translates through my designs and the way that I design very much reflects the way that I live: with meaning and purpose. Focusing on a humanistic approach, I have taken on the role of setting up people’s interactions, both with each other and with a space; creating every detail, even the smallest, to act as a guide. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. Because nothing in life, or in design, is random.

Lush’s concept of natural geometry for their collabortion with Royal Caribbean gives users a personal experience where they can experiment with natural, organic ingrediants in order to create the perfect product. By using industrial materials and playing with geometry, we will merge Lush’s bold qualities with their ingrediant’s raw elements as the users simultaneously mix and make their own creations.

LIVING INSTALLATION for ROYAL CARIBBEAN Cruise Ship / Collaborative Design HARMONY OF THE SEAS-DECK 7 Reimagined interior stateroom design specifically for solo, young Royal Caribbean cruisers.
The
purpose
of
this
area
of
accommodations
is
to
introduce a new way to cruise to a new, up and coming generation.
By
working
with
the
idea
of
communal
living and common areas we are bringing people together in a way
that will also make them want to come back. Adding an installation
to this area makes it fun and allows millennial to practice the idea of self-promotion that will benefit the users as much as the client.
By collaborating with different artists we can allow the space to be flexible and ever changing for a new experience every time. As a way to give the users a sense of exclusivity, only those
staying in this section will be able to see the installations and have a totally separate experience as everyone else on the ship.

BAR
GIN MARE MEDITATION BAR Hospitality Design TAIPEI, TAIWAN A bar space based on the combination of Buddhist meditation techniques and Mediterranean culture. Made specifically for the residents of Taipei and their drinking habits.
“ M I N D F U L D R I N K I N G � Gin Mare’s purpose is to change the culture of
drinking to one that promotes a more conscious
way of living. Reflecting upon traditional Vajrayana Buddhist techniques of mindful drinking and
meditating, the experience provides a healing opportunity for the users. With the use of natural lighting and raw elements, the space creates a pure
and refreshing ambience which allows the brand to preserve their Mediterranean qualities.
G I N M A R E Gin Mare is heavily influenced by Mediterranean culture which unites the love of gastronomy, the pleasant climate, a way of life with different values where time runs differently than the rest of the world. Their mission: to create a healthy and pure product/experience that will leave clients feeling good both inside and out.
TRANSITIONING
When a user enters the building through the ground floor, they are meant to immediately feel the calm ambience and forget all their worries outside.
A W A K E N I N G
As they make their way up to the first floor, they will awaken their senses to the Mediterranean ingrediants found in the garden and learn exactly how Gin Mare will work in their bodies as they consume it while meditating.
I M M E R S I N G
Moving on to the second floor, the users immerse themselves in the process of meditation. The hanging pods are meant to isolate them from their surroundings to encounter the intimate moment of self awareness.
L I B E R A T I N G
As the final floor approaches, they repose their minds and their bodies, as they lounge on the rooftop stairs while looking at the serene water and filtered city view.
