墨西哥太平洋沿岸的酒店Casa TO

Casa TO 位于 La Punta Zicatela，这是太平洋沿岸，一个拥有金色落日的地方，海洋、沙滩和悬崖形成了独特的风景。Casa TO是一片不起眼的绿洲中一座不同寻常的建筑，在这里，游客可以完全沉浸在沉思的状态中。

In La Punta Zicatela, a spot on Mexico’s Pacific coast with golden sunsets where the sea, the sand, and the cliffs form a unique panorama, Casa To nestles in a discreet oasis of unusual architecture where you can immerse yourself in a state of total contemplation.

项目由著名建筑师Ludwig Godefroy设计，以简洁和优雅的理念为目标，在宁静的自然环境中，将传统和前卫融合在一个独特的结构中。Casa TO的名字来自于封闭空间所带来的宁静沉思，就像瓦哈坎寺庙的重新诠释，让人们在走进场地时产生一种全新的感官体验。

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.

建筑结构令人联想到两个优美的历史水利工程图案：伊斯坦布尔的大教堂水池，可追溯到公元6世纪，以及建于19世纪的伦敦芬斯伯里公园的霍恩西伍德蓄水池。

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.

私密与开放的相互作用在项目中显而易见。建筑内部景观创造了一个被天空包围的绿洲，由墙壁、藤蔓以及果树（香蕉和百香果）共同组成。在600平方米的区域中，Godefroy将美学和功能交织在一起，并强调混凝土，钢铁，粘土和木材等原材料纹理的真实感。

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的亮点是带顶棚的无边泳池和日光浴室。前者采用拱形体量，致敬勒柯布西耶的标志性风格，包括直线线条、裸露的承重墙、轻质结构和开放式的内部。日光浴区域采用阶梯式布局，每个区域分隔开来，以提供私密性。

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.

考虑到当地的平均气温较高，相邻的包含客房的建筑体量都采用能够保持气候凉爽的结构，以保护室内免受外部气候干扰。底层的六间客房设有花园，上层的客房则设有露台和室外浴缸。

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的自然环境为室内设计定调，灵感来自项目原址上的马达加斯加蓝色俾斯麦棕榈树（俾斯麦诺比利斯）的自然图案。设计师选择的色调将混凝土和金属制品中的不锈钢自然色调、以及Natural Urbano工作室打造的灯具的绿松石色相调和，使它们和谐地融为一体。

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.

入住Casa TO意味着停下脚步，在优雅而宁静的环境中重新获得沉思体验。

Staying at Casa TO means taking a pause to reconnect with a contemplative experience in surroundings of abundant conceptual elegance and total serenity.
