The architectural vision for the home was to create a fun townhome addition to the street, with a balcony overlooking Cartagena that provided easygoing sociability. The owner, construction management team, and the interior designer, [Laurel](https://www.instagram.com/laurel_dd/), then collaborated to add personal changes to the house. The result was that the interiors were made more lively as well, creating a bright internal design to pair with the social street. ![](https://theblog.lascatalinascr.com/hubfs/Copy%20of%20The%20Daily.%20Tuesday%2c%20October%2029th%2c%202019.-7.jpeg)   There’s an open-air pool grotto at the back of the home that’s full of light and fresh air, and a tropical modern decor with custom patterned tiles and wood accents throughout the two indoor living areas.
