Colibrí Hospice Center
My Interior Design capstone project centered on creating a space that serves as a bridge between essential medical care and the fundamental human need for warmth and familiarity during the End-of-Life stages.

Upon reviewing my previous work, I realized that while Colibrí was already a very complete project,  this was an opportunity to reimagine the hospice with fresh insights and a more evolved perspective.
