Ludwig Godefroy Architecture｜旅居的诗意，雕刻般的拱形精品酒店

酒店只有9间套房，酒店将自己定义为一个自省的好客宣言，坐落在Zicatela生态社区对面，是来自各个纬度的当代游牧民的关键目的地，他们寻求在广阔的海滩中寻找自己的理想冲浪和水上运动，散步，冥想，甚至帮助在当地保护区释放海龟。

With just nine suites, the hotel defines itself as a manifesto of hospitality for introspection, sited opposite the Zicatela Ecological Community, a key destination for contemporary nomads from every latitude, who seek to find themselves among wide beaches ideal for surfing and watersports, walking, meditating, and even helping to release turtles in the local sanctuaries.

该结构让人想起了两个历史上永恒美丽的水利工程的网状图案:伊斯坦布尔的Basilica蓄水池或Yerebatan Sarayi，可追溯到公元6世纪，以及伦敦芬斯伯里公园的Hornsey Wood水库，建于19世纪。

The structure evokes the reticulated pattern of two historical hydraulic works of timeless beauty: the Basilica Cistern or Yerebatan Sarayi of Istanbul, dating from the 6th century AD, and the Hornsey Wood Reservoir in Finsbury Park, London, built in the 19th century.

该项目由著名建筑师Ludwig Godefroy设计，以简洁和概念优雅为口号，在宁静的自然环境中，将传统和前卫结合在一个独特的结构中。Casa TO的名字来自于对封闭空间的宁静沉思，就像瓦哈坎寺庙的重新诠释，在进入时产生一种激进的感官体验。

The project, by the renowned architect Ludwig Godefroy, was developed under the watchword of simplicity and conceptual elegance, bringing together tradition and the avant-garde in a unique structure embraced by a peaceful natural setting. The name, Casa TO, comes from the idea of serene contemplation of an enclosed space, like the reinterpretation of a Oaxacan temple, generating a radical sensory experience upon entering.

隐私和曝光的相互作用是显而易见的。室内景观创造了一个绿洲，由天空、墙壁的重量和植物的攀缘植物和果树，包括香蕉和百香果。在这个面积为600平方米的区域，Godefroy将美学和功能交织在一起，强调原材料的质感，如混凝土、钢铁、粘土和木材。

The interplay of privacy and exposure is evident. The interior views create an oasis enclosed by the sky, the weight of the walls and the vegetation of climbing plants and fruit trees including bananas and passion fruit. In this area, measuring 600 square meters, Godefroy interweaves aesthetics and functionality, emphasizing the honesty of the textures of the raw materials, such as concrete, steel, clay, and wood.

Casa TO的焦点是有顶的无边泳池和日光浴室。前者暗示了拱形体量和柯布西耶的标志性风格，直线线条、裸露的承重墙、轻质结构和开放式内部。日光浴室采用阶梯式布局，在每个区域都有分区，以提供隐私。

The focal point of Casa TO is the covered infinity pool and solarium. The former alludes to the vaulted volumes and the signature style of Le Corbusier with rectilinear lines, exposed loadbearing walls, lightweight structures, and open-plan interiors. The solarium, with its terraced layout, has divisions to provide privacy in each area.

相邻的体量包括套房，有一个有利于凉爽空气的结构，考虑到该地区的盛行热，并提供免受户外的保护。一楼的六个房间都有花园，而上层的房间则提供露台和户外浴室。

The adjacent volume comprises the suites and has a structure that favors cool air, given the prevailing heat of the region, and provides protection from the outdoors. The six rooms on the ground floor have gardens, while those on the upper level offer a terrace and outdoor bath.

Casa TO的自然环境决定了室内设计，灵感来自于原址上一棵马达加斯加蓝色俾斯麦棕榈树(Bismarckia Nobilis)的自然图案。所选的色调结合了混凝土和不锈钢的自然色调和绿松石色调——在金属制品、natural Urbano工作室的灯具和其他装饰细节中得到欣赏——以及黄色、蓝色和绿色的细微差别。

The natural surroundings of Casa TO defined the interior design, inspired by the natural pattern of a Madagascar Blue Bismarck palm tree (Bismarckia Nobilis) standing on the original site. The chosen color palette combines the natural tones of concrete and stainless steel with turquoise hues –appreciated in the metalwork, the lamps by Natural Urbano studio, and other decorative details–, and nuances of yellow, blue, and green.
