架构师提供的文本描述。现代哥斯达黎加海岸酒店结合了现代设计和传统工艺。从陡峭的山坡上走下，俯瞰大海，薄荷圣特里萨(Mint Santa Teresa)是一家新酒店，将欧洲的设计美学与哥斯达黎加的工艺融为一体-这是为了确保客人能够与自然、彼此和当地人交流。瑞典的主人爱上了圣特蕾莎，因为它是冲浪天堂，也是它蓬勃发展的瑜伽社区。受希腊建筑、极简主义和斯堪的纳维亚设计的启发，他们委托Saxe工作室(StudioSaxe)开发了一种与热带景观相协调的建筑方法。

Text description provided by the architects. Contemporary Costa Rican coastal hotel combines modern design and traditional craftsmanship. Stepping down a steep hillside and overlooking the ocean, Mint Santa Teresa is a new hotel that blends a European design aesthetic with Costa Rican craftsmanship – created to ensure that guests can commune with nature, each other and local people. The Swedish owners fell in love with Santa Teresa as a surfing paradise, as well as its burgeoning yoga community. Inspired by Greek architecture, minimalism, and Scandinavian design, they commissioned Studio Saxe who have developed a reputation for their approach to architecture that harmonizes with tropical landscapes.

酒店的居民居住在单独的亭子式的建筑中，他们可以在那里撤退到一个私人区域，但仍然与周围的自然互动。宽敞的客房可以完全开放给私人露台，前面是海景，后面是热带植物的花园。甚至浴室也有一个开放的布局，让客人有机会洗澡，同时聆听海浪的声音。每个房间都有自己的屋顶露台，配有茂盛的植物、遮阳的帆和以居民手艺闻名的哥斯达黎加小镇Sarchí的藤条家具。热带度假胜地的建筑师们在整个项目中都使用了当地来源的材料，比如用“ca a brava”(一种草的一种)制成的天花板上安装了一种复杂的鱼骨图案。当地工匠还用当地木材制作定制家具，并以新的方式使用传统技术。

Hotel residents occupy individual pavilion-like structures where they can retreat into a private zone and yet still interact with the nature around them. The spacious guest rooms can be opened up completely to a personal terrace with an ocean view to the front and a garden with tropical plants in the rear. Even the bathrooms have an open layout, giving the guests the opportunity to shower while listening to the sound of the crashing waves. Each room is afforded its own rooftop terrace, complete with lush plants, a sail for shade and furnished with rattan furniture made in Sarchí, a Costa Rican town famous for its inhabitants’ craftsmanship. The tropical resort architects have used locally-sourced materials throughout the project, such as in ceilings that are made of “caña brava” (a type of grass) installed in an intricate fishbone pattern. Local craftsmen have also created custom furniture made of local wood and using traditional techniques in new ways.

圣特蕾莎造币厂的中心是公共休息区，有着无限的游泳池和日落酒吧。除了入口处的一堵单一的植物墙外，它在四面八方都是开放的，在保持自然环境的同时，也为客人提供了一些隐私。休息室是该地区的客人、业主和当地人的聚会场所。早上，在公共餐桌上吃自助早餐，日落前在酒会上交换故事。在圣特里萨造币厂的体验是一种新的旅游形式的一部分，游客们希望了解更多关于目的地的知识，并了解在那里真正生活的感觉。

The heart of Mint Santa Teresa is the communal lounge area with its infinity pool and sunset bar. It is open on all sides save for a single wall of plants by the entrance, providing the guests with some privacy while maintaining the natural setting. The lounge serves as a meeting spot for guests, owners, and locals of the area. In the morning, a breakfast buffet is eaten at a communal table and later in the day stories are exchanged over drinks by sunset. The experience at Mint Santa Teresa is part of a new form of tourism, where visitors want to learn more about a destination and get a sense of what it is like to actually live there.

热带度假胜地建筑师本杰明·加西亚·萨克斯(Benjamin Garcia Saxe)解释了他的愿景：“传统上，酒店成为景观中与周围环境无关、缺乏真正的人类互动的巨大对象。在造币厂，我们努力创造一个背景设计，以适应它的景观，并提供了一种新的体验，一个品种的旅行者寻求真实性。我们努力创造空间，将欣赏自然美景与丰富的社会和文化互动的可能性结合起来。其结果是一种关于热情好客和健康的完全独特的思维方式。“

Tropical resort architect Benjamin Garcia Saxe explains his vision: “Hotels traditionally became vast objects in the landscape that bear no relation to their surroundings and are devoid of genuine human interaction. At Mint, we endeavored to create a contextual design that adapts to its landscape and offers a new type of experience for a breed of a traveler seeking authenticity. We worked hard on creating spaces that combine an appreciation of natural beauty with a rich array of possibilities for social and cultural interaction. The result is a completely unique way of thinking about hospitality and wellness.”
