Project Outdoor facade and indoor lobby by Melissa Aristizabal in Antwerp

Project Outdoor facade and indoor lobby

Client Portum Hostel Tulum, Mexico, 2020. "Comissioned project for Portum, the outdoor facade is inspired in the Nopal and Palma Chit native plants of the Riviera Maya. In the lobby is created a vase in the shape of an ocelot and Jade stones. Jade was very valuable in ancient Mesoamerica, it was also sacred imbued with concepts of abundance and life, which included water, corn and even the soul. Many of these beliefs originate from the Olmec region. Finally the dahlias that are endemic flowers of Mexico, sweet potato flower used to tell the ancient Mexicans and their different forms vary by the foliage that each one brings."
