The design premise: a broad urban analysis and a deep study of its inhabitants, culture and customs. The architect’s conclusion was to discover the great activity, taste and devotion of the Vallisoletanos for community life through daily social coexistence in free, open spaces.

The hotel program only needed 30% of the land space of 3,800 m2, located on one of the main avenues; the architectural party located the building at the back of the property and an extension of the public area in front of it; Through a symmetrical layout, it generated a space with enjoyment for the guests and simultaneously, it gives the opportunity to carry out traditional activities of the people of the city and propose new uses of the public space. The request was a hotel, Waye, to which we added a public square, Peregrina.
