Diseño de hostal en el sector del rodadero ubicado en la ciudad de Santa Marta, Colombia

Abstract

Santa Marta is known for its proximity to beaches and the Sierra Nevada, which has extensive commerce focused mainly on tourism. One of the accommodations most used by tourists after hotels, are hostels. However, when talking about these, it was possible to identify that a large part of them are adaptations of old houses that in some cases do not have the necessary spaces or adaptations for users, which affects their experience, so the focus of the project was to design a hostel that is designed for the context and the user along with their needs. Initially, the hostel was identified according to the MINCIT as a lodging place that offers mixed or private rooms, where it is possible to offer or not offer certain services. In view of this, three typologies were analyzed: A local, national and international, to understand the distribution of the spaces, what services were offered and interpret the concept of rooms. In the same way, to understand the environmental situation and generate solutions, an analysis of the climatic conditions was carried out to know those critical points that defined the strategies applied to the design of the hostel.
