架构师提供的文本描述。2012年，在圣何塞·德尔·卡波(San Jose Del Cabo)殖民中心的上来艺术区(Up And Will Art District)的600平方米土地上，一栋6间一居室的公寓楼被买下，目的是在墨西哥最昂贵的度假城镇之一提供一家高档旅舍-这是一系列昂贵的海滨豪华度假村的替代方案。

Text description provided by the architects. In 2012 a run down 6 one bedroom apartment building on 600 square meters of land in the up and coming Art District in San Jose del Cabo’s colonial center was purchased with a goal to provide an upscale hostel in one of Mexico’s most expensive resort towns - an alternative to the array of expensive ocean front luxury resorts.

其理念是为喜欢冒险和文化的独立旅行者提供一个年轻的、社交的和自己动手的住宿，而不是豪华的住宿。翻修工作是以极小的成本完成的，包括将原来的6套公寓改造成8间酒店客房、一间工作人员厨房办公室和洗衣房、客人咖啡吧和零售空间。

The concept was to provide a youthful, social and do-it-yourself no frills accommodation for independent travelers who prefer adventure and culture over all inclusive. The renovation was done on a shoestring and consisted of turning the original 6 apartments into 8 hotel rooms, a staff kitchen office and laundry, guest coffee bar and retail space.
