Project for a Hostel La Isla Holbox. It is a small island located north of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. It is accessed through the town of Chiquila located in the extreme north of Quintana Roo, approximately 2.5 hours by car north of Cancun. The BEACH HOSTEL UNIT is presented as a real and different option for all those who want to be in balance with the natural ecosystem but with the comfort of modern life. For the conception of the project, it is essential to understand who it is aimed at, which is why it must have Smart House characteristics, which satisfy any basic activity of young travelers. The project was carried out within the framework of an AG360 International Ideas Competition, which was suspended when it had almost concluded, so I decided to continue it as an object of research.

House of Argentinean Provinces

Buenos Aires city has an important civic axis along Avenida de Mayo, including the Congreso de la Nación, the Plaza de los Dos Congresos, the Cabildo, Plaza de Mayo, and the Casa de Gobierno. The conceptual extension of this axis towards the Rio de la Plata through the Puente de la Mujer, and the Plaza Reina de Holanda, suggests that the property assigned to this competition must have institutional use.
The location of the -proposed- House of the Provinces is thus conceived to reinforce the concept of the federal country, supported by the National Constitution.
This will be a permeable public building with open spaces such as terraces and plazas plus a multi-height lobby for events.
The style symbolically combines the old building with advanced intelligent contemporary design.
It will contain office spaces for each of the country’s provinces, as well as shared use areas, such as exhibition centers, conference rooms, meeting rooms that can be used to develop trade, tourism, folklore, culture, and the regional gastronomy where each province will have the opportunity to culturally and economically extend to the world, given that Puerto Madero has always been the point of international attraction, due to the radial organization of the routes, the railway lines and even the mouths of the rivers which are distributed towards this point. As a result, the House of Provinces will become a portal where they can finally have their international significance in a more equitable way.
