架构师提供的文本描述。酒店座落于台北市中心，捷运、夜市、百货公司、公共公园和人口密集的公寓，营造了一个24到7天充满活力和繁忙的区域。为了充分利用这一热闹而又极其复杂的城市环境，这座建筑从对角线上分为两部分：上42个酒店房间和较低的酒店设施。较低的部分是从公园侧面向后推，为当地的树木腾出空间。另一方面，上面的部分被移向公园，同时与紧靠在酒店后面的公寓保持一段通融的距离。

Text description provided by the architects. The site of Hotel Proverbs is located at the heart of Taipei City central where the MRT, night market, department stores, public park and densely occupied apartments create a vibrant and busy area 24-7. To take full advantage of – and to mediate – this lively and yet extremely intricate urban condition, the building splits diagonally into two parts: the upper 42 hotel rooms and the lower hotel amenities. The lower part is pushed back from the park side to make space for the trees indigenous to the site. The upper part, on the other hand, is shifted forward to lean into the park while maintaining an accommodating distance from the apartments closely situated behind the hotel.

在这两卷书之间，有一个踏板的空隙，把一个面包店、一家餐馆、酒店接待处、酒廊和一个不同层次的室外雪茄露台连接起来，形成一个流动而连续的空间。白天，这一空隙给客人带来了光明、空气和充满活力的街道生活，吸引他们到城市景观中去，或者坐在阳台上接纳他们。晚上，高高挂在大餐厅上方的吊灯增添了一种微妙的魅力，也与背景中繁忙的夜市形成了有趣的对比。

Between these two volumes, there is a stepping void linking a bakery, a restaurant, the hotel reception, the lounge bar and an outdoor cigar terrace at different levels, creating one flowing and continuous space. This void, by day, brings in light, air and the vibrant street life to its guests, luring them out to the cityscape or sit by the balcony to take them in. At night, the chandeliers hanging high above the grand dining hall add a subtle touch of glamour as well as an interesting contrast to the busy night market layered in the background.

用一个解决方案来应对两个挑战是这个项目最好的部分：设计一个42个房间的小型酒店，它的环境复杂而令人难以抗拒；创建一个豪华的实体来安静地对比拥挤、繁忙的夜市。

Taking on two challenges with one solution was the best part of the project: designing a small 42-room hotel with a mixed and overwhelming environment; and creating a luxurious entity to quietly contrast the crowded, busy night market.

黑色的金属幕墙遮住主音量，在两个看似矛盾的空间之间进行交流。它作为一个强有力的签名的建筑，允许建筑物本身，同时保护其客人的隐私。屏幕的开口是以这样一种方式，让人们从远处看透，但逐渐蒙蔽视线时，一个人接近。该设计旨在鼓励客人真正体验当地生活，同时享受酒店提供的优质住宿。

The black, metal screen façade veils the main volume and communicates between its two seemingly contradicting spaces. It serves as a strong signature to the architecture, allowing the building to shad itself, while guarding its guests’ privacy. The openings of the screen are oriented in such a way that allows people from afar to see through but gradually blinds the view in when one approaches.  The design aims to encourage its guests to truly experience the local life, while enjoying the exclusive quality stay the hotel has to offer.
