Ace Hotel Toronto证明了深思熟虑的建筑和设计对其环境所具有的安静但可再生的力量。该建筑坐落在多伦多历史悠久的服装区的中心地带，这是一个20世纪初由创新和工业推动的社区，其特点和材料色调让人想起了周围砖木工厂和仓库的坚固性。

Ace Hotel Toronto stands as testament to the quiet but regenerative power that thoughtful architecture and design can have on its environment. Set in the heart of Toronto’s historic Garment District – a neighborhood fueled by innovation and industry at the start of the 20th century – the building’s character and material palette recall the robustness of the surrounding brick-and-beam factories and warehouses.

虽然是一座新建筑，但多伦多Ace酒店的设计捕捉到了一种分层的时间感，以便在周围环境中毫不费力地感到宾至如归，这样做会混淆其自身的时代。

Although a new building, the design of Ace Hotel Toronto captures a layered sense of time in order to feel effortlessly at home among its surroundings and, in doing so, obfuscates its own age.

红砖是多伦多的材料，Ace Hotel Toronto的红土立面让人想起了砖在形成城市视觉认同中所起的重要作用。大约在世纪之交，在顿河流域发现了丰富的优质粘土矿床。

Red brick is Toronto’s material, and Ace Hotel Toronto’s red clay facade recalls the important role bricks played in forming the city’s visual identity. Around the turn of the century, rich deposits of high-quality clay were discovered in the Don Valley.

这家酒店有14层地上建筑和四层地下室，展示了一个宽阔的主入口——坐落在安静的小路卡姆登街上——砖、混凝土、铜和木材的细节。沿着布兰特街，超大的玻璃窗激发了人们的好奇心，为旁观者提供了关于内部复杂空间的线索，同时让室内充满了充足的自然光。

The hotel, featuring 14 above-ground stories and four basement levels, showcases a sweeping main entrance – tucked on Camden Street, a quiet side road – with detailing in brick, concrete, copper and wood. Along Brant Street, oversized glass windows spark curiosity, offering onlookers clues as to the intricate spaces within while filling the interiors with abundant natural daylight.

大堂酒吧坐落在钢边混凝土拱门之间，采用木托盘的形式，由钢条悬挂在中央混凝土结构上。酒吧本身，覆盖着白色釉面砖

Nestled between the steel-edged concrete arches, the Lobby Bar takes the form of a wooden tray, hung from the central concrete structure by steel rods. The bar itself, clad in white glazed brick, is positioned

大自然是Ace Toronto酒店客房的缪斯女神。这些房间让人想起了只有在城市内的荒野小屋度假的舒适乐趣。当地材料，如画布、木长椅、花旗松镶板和地板，以及定制和复古家具，有助于传达景观感。客房设有一个舒适的深窗长椅，作为一个中间空间——不太在城市里，也不太在酒店房间里——在免受天气影响的同时体验天气。

Nature served as muse for Ace Toronto’s guestrooms. The rooms are evocative of the comforting pleasures of a wilderness cabin retreat only set within the city. Local materials, such as canvas, wood benches, Douglas fir paneling and flooring, and custom and vintage furnishings help to convey a sense of landscape. Rooms feature a cozy, deep-set window bench, which operates as an intermediary space – not quite in the city, not quite in the hotel room – to experience the weather while being protected from it.

《来自家乡的诗》的灵感来自多伦多多样化和充满活力的人口，庆祝这座城市的许多居民——实际上是节目中的艺术家——来自其他地方。每件艺术品都包括一首以艺术家定义的“家”概念为主题的诗，用英语或艺术家的第一语言写成。

Poems from Home was inspired by Toronto’s diverse and vibrant population, celebrating the fact that many of the city’s inhabitants — and indeed the artists in the program — come from somewhere else. Each art piece includes a poem themed around the concept of “home” — as defined by the artist — written either in English or in the artist’s first language.
