架构师提供的文本描述。一声血红的喊叫

Text description provided by the architects. A cry of colour

在格拉纳达市中心，在Realejo的特色区，我们遇到了一家风格独特的酒店：波塔戈城市，全球套房连锁店的第二家。位于一座古老的建筑中，在2011年被彻底重组之前，它已经被用作酒店。酒店按这样的方式划分：一楼，在那里我们可以找到公共区域，如接待室、咖啡厅和早餐室；三层楼，那里有25间卧室和一个有独特景色的美妙平台。

In the centre of Granada, in the characteristic district of Realejo, we come across a hotel with a unique style: Portago Urban, the second one of the Global Suites chain. Located in an ancient building, it has already been used as hotel before being totally reorganized in 2011. The hotel is divided in such a way: ground floor, where we find the common areas such as reception, coffee bar and breakfast room; three floors, where 25 bedrooms and a wonderful platform with a special view are located.

正如我们从名字上注意到的那样，它具有强烈的城市个性。这一空间很大程度上借鉴了典型英国绅士的形象，将这种风格与格拉纳达中心区特有的非正式而多彩的环境结合在一起。它的特点是一种非正式和有趣的美学，欢迎和陪同游客的整个逗留。

As we notice from the name, it has a strong urban personality. The space draws heavily on the figure of a typical English gentlemen, mixing this kind of style with the informal and colourful environment peculiar to this central district of Granada. It is characterized by an informal and amusing aesthetics which welcomes and accompanies the visitor for his whole stay.

进入酒店，我们受到一个独特的天花板的欢迎。保龄球不再是一顶简单的帽子了，它变成了一种元素，它以一种不可预知的方式和不同的高度被使用了数千次，创造了一个移动和包裹的表面。第二层是由漂浮在空气中的帽子和不断投射的灯光和阴影创造出来的，这些光线和阴影给酒店入口的动态形象注入了活力。

Entering the hotel we are welcomed by a distinctive ceiling. The bowler is not a simple hat any more; it becomes an element that, being used thousands of times in an unpredictable way and at different heights, creates a moving and wrapping surface. A second level is created by the hat floating in the air and by continuous projections of lights and shadows which give life to a dynamic image of the hotel entrance.

这个区域，从外面可以看到，是酒店的咖啡吧。这是游客第一次看到的空间。因此，对于那些想停下来喝一杯的人来说，这就变得更加容易了。人们一直认为这座城市是一个闲散的聚会场所，人们可以在那里和朋友们呆上一段时间。

This area, which is visible from the outside, is the hotel coffee bar. This is the first space that the visitor comes across. So it becomes even more accessible for those who want to stop and take a drink. It has been thought to be an idle meeting place of the city where people can spend some time with their friends.

除了前面描述的特色天花板外，我们还遇到了一层浓烈的绿松石色地板。整个酒店的地板是一个巨大的彩色表面，强度很强，可以改变不同区域的色调。白色空间和色彩强烈的地面之间有一个自愿的对比。在空旷的空间里哭泣。这是通过地板和其余部分之间的光中断来实现的。使用高颜色的地板，可以更好地看到白色的表面，无论是去除墙壁和天花板的颜色，它显示了地板的塑料力。

In addition to the characteristic ceiling described before, we run into an intense turquoise coloured floor. In the whole hotel, the floor is a huge coloured surface with a strong intensity, which changes shade in the different areas. There is a willing contrast between the white space and the strongly coloured ground. As a cry in an empty space. This is obtained by the optical break between the floor and the rest. Using a highly coloured floor, it is possible to see better the white surface, whether removing the colour from the walls and ceiling, it shows up the plastic force of the floor.

彩色…的叫喊

A cry of colour…

为了达到这一结果，选择了接口FLOR品牌地毯。它允许一个完美的维护和提供广泛的颜色选择。酒店的整个楼层，无论是公共区域还是私人区域，都是使用这种材料实现的。

In order to reach this result, an Interface FLOR branded carpet has been chosen. It allows a perfect maintenance and presents a wide choice of colours. The whole floor of the hotel, both public and private areas, is realized using this material.

一个巨大的由白色柯里安制成的单块弧形计数器占据着整个空间；在它后面的墙上传达着一条信息：“很高兴见到你”。然后，我们跑到接待区，客人拿掉了他的行李，用一个由旧箱子堆成的装饰性细节来表示。

A huge monolithic curved counter made of white corian dominates the space; on the wall behind it there a message is communicated: “nice to meet you”. Then, we run into the reception area, where the visitor gets rid of his luggage, which is represented by a decorative detail made of old piled up suitcases.

在那之后，我们找到了早餐室，它位于内盖露台的下部。所有的房间都可以俯瞰这个内部的庭院，从任何地方都可以看到这个区域。为了使它看起来更受欢迎，ILMIODESIGN已经创造了一些巨大的圆柱形灯，由强烈的彩色莱卡，尽量减少高度的地区。墙壁上有天然的木饰面，上面贴着装饰物，看上去就像一个有启发性的太阳。

After that, we find the breakfast room, which is located in the lower part of an inner covered patio. All the rooms overlook this inner courtyard making this area visible from everywhere. In order to make it seem more welcoming, ILMIODESIGN has created some huge cylindrical lamps made of strong coloured lycra which minimize the height of the area. Walls have natural wood finishes on which appliques are located, which look like an enlighten sun.

There are three types of rooms. They are customized through the use of different colours of the carpet, different graphics and friendly phrases carved in the headboards. They invite us to relax and enjoy our stay.

位于大楼顶部的一个平台将于2012年4月开放。它通过电梯直接连接到咖啡吧；随着它的延伸，它被认为是一个可以放松的地方，在那里可以看到像格拉纳达这样的奇特的城市。

A platform, situated on the top of the building, will open on April 2012. It is directly connected through a lift to the coffee bar; as its prolongation, it has been thought to offer a place where it is possible to relax delighted by the view of a peculiar city like Granada.

这是一家酒店，因为它的美学由吸引人的想法构成，同时在经济上也是可行的，它不会让游客无动于衷。该项目是对我们所处时代、经济衰退和不断增长的创新需求的全球性回应。

This is a hotel that, for its aesthetic made of attractive ideas which are the same time economically feasible, doesn’t leave its visitor indifferent. The project is a global answer to the era in which we live, to a reduced economy and an always more growing need for innovation.
