Context: from the observation of water use in Santa Marta slum and problems faced by the community, the project focus was defined: to redesign the "mine”, space used by residents mainly as laundry and water source.
Project: after consecutive visits to the site, the area was mapped and its uses were observed, allowing the ideation of solutions aligned with the community needs and values.
Design role: the entire space was redesigned, proposing a communal tank, a tap to collect water, a pier on the water tanks for bar goers shower under the stairs, and a pool with waterfall.In the development of these solutions, the maximization of use of resources was aimed as well as social integration and well-being of the community.
