2007 - 2015

This 3,838 sqm design project on a 1000 sqm lot located on the 99 block of San Diego quarter in the Historic Center of Cartagena was originally conceived by our firm as a residential condominium in 2008. After obtaining IPCC approval in that same year, the global financial crisis forced our client to review the original program of use and has been operating as a hotel since 2014. We developed the intervention criteria and all the management of Heritage to meet the demanding requirements of the IPCC, achieving a contemporary product very well inserted in the old sector, in a property whose facade was recovered during the Restoration process. The construction was carried out by the owners of the property, who despite introducing significant architectural changes to the roof and basement, respected the intervention criteria developed by our firm. Today it is a high-profile hotel with 51 rooms that maintains an occupancy rate of 92% with an average rate of $420 USD per night and has already twice won the award for best hotel architectural design on the continent. The approximate investment was $12'000,000 USD. This was our first project prepared implementing BIM methodology in 2008, becoming pioneers in this field at Cartagena.
