Capybara Hostel. Villavicencio - Colombia.
At Capybara Hostel, I seamlessly merged architecture and interior design, weaving luxury and local authenticity into a singular experience. Balancing boutique hotel elegance with premier hostel comfort, my architectural role curated open, modern spaces that echo Villavicencio’s rhythm.
Transitioning to interior design, I transformed spaces into immersive narratives, where natural textures and serene hues converge in minimalist sophistication. Beyond aesthetics, I fostered connections, establishing the hostel as an artistic hub resonating with ecosystem conservation, gastronomy, art, and folklore. Capybara Hostel epitomizes design’s power to craft spaces and cultivate sustainable cultural enrichment.

El Viajero Tayrona - El Viajero Hostels Buritaca
- Colombia
The El Viajero Tayrona project commenced in early August 2018, focusing on expanding the hostel by constructing six additional shared dormitories, a new social area, and a pool. As the project manager, I oversaw the execution, monitoring, and control of the construction, aiming to meet rigorous requirements and complete the project within a tight timeframe.
Undertaking this project in a remote and isolated location posed significant challenges. However, through meticulous planning and coordination, the dedicated team overcame obstacles and made necessary adjustments. Their determination and effective problem-solving skills enabled us to successfully navigate the complexities of working in such an isolated setting, accomplishing our objectives with exceptional results.

This project holds personal significance as my first work experience, where I gained valuable skills in design, digital expression, 3D modeling, and image generation. Bosque de Guaduas has been a transformative learning opportunity, fueling my passion for future endeavors.
