背景：西克斯酒店位于三亚海塘湾后海村。中国南海在酒店前面10米远，后海村的街道在后面。这位建筑师将原来为当地渔民家庭服务多年的三层建筑改造成了一家冲浪主题的度假酒店，加固了旧建筑，并对里面的空间进行了翻新。

Background: The SIXX hotel is located in the Houhai village of the Haitang Bay in Sanya. The China south sea is 10 meters away in front of the hotel, and the streets of Houhai village are in its back. The architect transformed the original three storied building, which is served for a local fishermen family for years, to a surfing-theme resort hotel, by reinforcing the old structure and refurbishing the space inside.

原貌：由于居住条件差，原建筑为当地家庭提供不合理的随机分割空间：1。西北面巨大的窗户给街道的噪音和西面的阳光带来了很大的不便；二楼露台上的楼梯切断了采光，也切断了个人交通；一楼的拥挤使整个大楼缺乏作为旅馆的公共空间。

Original condition: Because of a low quality of living condition, the original building served for the local family with an unreasonable randomly divided space: 1. the huge windows on the north-west facade bring lots of inconvenience of the noise from the street and the sun exposing from the west; 2. the stairway on the terrace of the 2nd floor cut off the daylighting, and it cut off the personal traffic as well; 3. The congestion of the first floor makes the whole building  being short of the public space as a hotel.

空间改造：对酒店空间进行改造，是对空间进行重新划分，合理地组织人与车的交通。改造后的酒店不仅在视觉上而且在功能上都是一家引人注目的酒店。

Renovation of the space: To renovate the hotel space is to re-divide the space, to reorganize the traffic of the people and the vehicle in a reasonable way. And it makes the renovated space to be a conspicuous hotel, not only visually but also functionally.

为了最大限度地将一楼从北到南进入一个可渗透的公共空间，建筑师拆除了几堵隔墙，并同时加固了一些隔墙。沿着一楼的公共空间，有大堂、走廊、餐厅和无限游泳池，这些部分构成了一个干净的开放空间，可以从海上吹过风。得益于此，热带酒店的大堂在任何季节都可以免费使用空调。

In order to maximize the first floor into a permeable public space from north to south, the architect removed several partition walls, and reinforced some in the same time. Along the public space of the first floor, there is the lobby, the corridor, the restaurant and the infinity swimming pool, these parts made a clean opened space that can pass through the wind from the sea. Profiting from this, the lobby of the tropic hotel is free to use the air-conditioner for any season.

从公共空间到海边，有一个无限大的游泳池，它是从渔夫家的一个虾池中翻新而来的。还有四个房间在大楼的这一边安装了大型的日出露台，这些阳台是通过钢筋结构从旧阳台延伸而来的。

Passing through from the public space to the sea shore, there is the infinity swimming pool, which is refurbished from a shrimp pool of the fisherman family. There are also, four chambers equipped the large sun-rise—view terraces on this side of the building, which are extended from the old balconies by using a reinforced steel structure.

在建筑的另一边，建筑师拆除了弯曲的阳台，将立面变成一个激进的矩形形式。这个被550块灰砖遮住的新立面，重新提炼了建筑的质量，同时也使建筑远离西阳，远离街道外面的分布。

On the other side of the building, the architect demolished the curved balconies to transform the facade into a radical rectangle form. This new facade which is masked by 550 pieces of grey bricks, redistilled the quality of the architecture, mean while, it keeps the building away from the west-sun-exposing and away from the distribution from the outside of street.

室内设计和装饰：室内空间色调以地中海白色和深蓝色为基础，与白色马赛克、灰色混凝土、灰木和黄铜相结合。设计师用各种热带植物、五颜六色的冲浪板和粉红色的移动家具装饰，创造了一个清新的室内空间。这使得西克斯酒店年轻、热情、休闲，满足了后海村冲浪文化的感受。

Interior design and decoration: The interior space tone is based on the Mediterranean white and navy blue, and united with the white mosaic, the grey concrete, the ash wood and the brass. Decorating with the various tropic vegetation, the colorful surfing boards and the pink mobile furniture, the architect created a pure and fresh interior space. This makes the SIXX hotel young, passion and casual, meets the feel of the surfing culture of the Houhai village.
