架构师提供的文本描述。这个项目的出发点是一个城市考古学项目。我们发现了一处完全衰败的房产，以前叫做花园亚马逊酒店。我们很快搜索了它，看到了它鼎盛时期的几张照片。当时我们主要被吸引到市中心的庭院里，作为城市里的绿洲，还有七十年代的装饰、人造草地和那些在泳池边晒太阳的人的衣服。那家旅馆除了典型的汽车旅馆结构外，什么也没有了，它的外部走廊可以俯瞰庭院，还有无数层的涂料、骨料、台阶和天花板。今天，这家酒店有36间客房，每个房间都有一种特殊的感觉。

Text description provided by the architects. This project had as its starting point a project of urban archeology. We find a property in total decay, formerly called Garden Amazonas Hotel, we quickly googled it and saw a couple of photos of its heyday where we were primarily drawn to the central courtyard as an oasis within the city, and the seventies decoration, artificial grass and the clothes of those who were photographed sunbathing by the pool. There was nothing left of that hotel other than the typical structure of a motel with exterior corridors overlooking the courtyard as well as countless layers of coatings, aggregates, steps, and ceilings. Today the hotel has 36 rooms, each with a special touch.

我们决定保持原样的立面，大概是在八十年代被改建的，想要给建筑加上一种现代化的气氛，他们用玻璃镜片盖住了它。科洛尼亚库赫特莫克，今天是一个非常活跃的文化地区，经历了几年的同样的恶化过程，当时外围与中心城市竞争。决定保留什么和删除什么是一个有趣和逐渐发现的过程。

The facade, which we decided to keep intact, was probably remodeled in the eighties, wanting to impose an air of modernity to the building they covered it with an enclosure finished in glass mirror. Colonia Cuauhtemoc, which today is a very culturally active area, shared the same process of deterioration for several years when the periphery competed with the central city. The decision of what to keep and what to remove was a playful and gradual discovery process.

我们甚至决定不让门面进入，在旁边的停车场建一个新的停车场，以改变流通的叙事，让游客惊讶地直接进入我们在照片中理想化的中央庭院。在这个过程中，除了删除和显示不同的层之外，我们还决定提供一些强大的元素，这些元素可以为项目提供凝聚力和统一性。现有建筑的混凝土结构可以在每个公共区域和酒店房间中看到。

We even decided to prevent access on the facade and build a new one on the side, in the neighboring parking lot to change the narrative of circulation and cause a surprise making visitors come in directly to this central courtyard that we had idealized in the photographs. In the process, in addition to removing and showing the different layers, we also decided to provide some powerful elements that could give cohesion and unity to the project. The concrete structure of the existing building can be seen in every common area and hotel room.

中央庭院成为最繁忙的公共空间，餐厅，这是按照同样的标准设计的酒店。商店/画廊和图书馆空间是相互结合的，它们打破了它们之间的界限，创造了一种独立界定它们的无限感；图书馆在气氛和家具中有一个舒适的封闭空间。

The central courtyard becomes the busiest public space, the restaurant, which is designed under the same criteria of the hotel. The shop / gallery and library spaces are integrated with each other, they break the boundaries between them and create the feeling of no limits defining them independently; the library has a cozy enclosure through the atmosphere and furniture.

黑色混凝土砌块的格子与这些空间关系的目标相联系，同时也提供了隐私，丰富了通往房间的旅程。这里面有一种取决于客人的生活条件，有些甚至有私人屋顶露台来日光浴，享受墨西哥城的垂直城市景观。

The lattice of black concrete blocks is connected with these objectives of spatial relations, but also provides privacy and enriches the journey to the rooms. These have a living condition inside that depends on the guest, some even have private roof terraces to sunbathe and enjoy the vertical urban landscape of Mexico City.

室内设计是与一组墨西哥设计师合作完成的，他们负责空间的每一个细节，从镶嵌自定义木材和照明装置的混凝土家具，甚至浴室装置，根据每个房间生产每一件。当代艺术干预覆盖了一些房间的墙壁，赋予了色彩，创造了独特的空间体验。

The interiors are done in collaboration with a team of Mexican designers who took care of every detail of the spaces, from concrete furniture with inlaid custom wood and lighting fixtures, even the bathroom fixtures, producing each piece according to each room. Contemporary art interventions cover some walls of the rooms giving a touch of color and creating a unique spatial experience.

对我们来说，关注酒店体验的每一个细节是很重要的，这就是为什么我们和一位专家一起开发了图形和品牌，这样同样的概念架构指导方针就可以在其中得到体现。

For us it was important to take care of every single detail that makes the hotel experience, this is why in conjunction with a specialist we developed the graphics and branding, so that the same conceptual architecture guidelines could be reflected in them.
