Kimpton Las Mercedes酒店丨Moneo Brock Architects

圣多明各建于1496年，是“新世界”最古老的城市，也是拉丁美洲的重要历史地标。作为多米尼加共和国的首都，其殖民古城区已被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产。如今，这座具有文艺复兴时期街区布局、可追溯至16世纪的历史城区，正经历一场雄心勃勃的城市更新。这场转型不仅是对年久失修环境的修复，更是一场全方位的努力，旨在重塑其城市精神、回应当代需求，并将殖民古城打造为历史与现代共存的典范。

Founded in 1496 Santo Domingo is the oldest city in the New World and a historical landmark in Latin America. As the capital of the Dominican Republic, its Colonial City has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This iconic historic district, with a Renaissance layout dating back to the 16th century, is undergoing an ambitious transformation that goes beyond the mere restoration of a deteriorating environment. It is a comprehensive effort to restore its essence, adapt it to contemporary needs, and turn the Colonial City into a model of coexistence between past and present.

在圣弗朗西斯科修道院遗址、埃斯帕尼亚广场等地的文物修复计划中，我们看到的不仅是外立面焕然一新，更是对城市公共空间体验方式的深入再思考。减少车流、增加绿意、铺设可渗透的人行步道等举措，使城市空间焕发活力、人性回归，重拾在历史与自然之间漫步的愉悦。

Initiatives aimed at restoring monuments such as the Ruins of the Monastery of San Francisco or Plaza de España go beyond impeccable facades; they represent a profound rethinking of how citizens and visitors experience these spaces. With reduced vehicular traffic, greener streets, and permeable sidewalks, these new initiatives revitalize and humanize the city, restoring the pleasure of walking in an environment that breathes history and nature.

Kimpton Las Mercedes酒店正是这场城市复兴计划中的关键项目之一。它坐落在殖民古城区的核心地带，是古城区“保护与现代化平衡发展”趋势的缩影。该项目以高度的在地性，将一座历史街区转化为一个开放的公共空间，并通过当代表达重新诠释殖民遗产。

Kimpton Las Mercedes is a hotel project that forms part of this ambitious revitalization plan for Santo Domingo’s Colonial City. Located in the heart of this emblematic historic center, the new hotel exemplifies the trend toward a balance between preservation and modernity in the colonial district. This architectural project reinterprets the rich heritage of the Colonial City, transforming a historic block through an interior public space deeply rooted in the local context.

酒店拥有130间客房，设计在尊重原有历史建筑立面的基础上，融入了与城市肌理相协调的当代元素。新增的架空结构、内庭院系统及避免大体量干预的布局方式，确保了建筑在历史尺度下的自然嵌入，有效推动了街区的有机更新。

The design of this 130-room hotel respects the original facades of the building while introducing contemporary elements that harmonize with the urban surroundings. New elevated structures, additional courtyards, and an architectural layout that avoids massive impact ensure integration with the historical scale of the area, contributing to the district’s regeneration.

本地采购的建筑材料与环境融为一体，庭院中植物的自然共生，以及多个开放性公共空间的打造，使酒店不仅是一处住宿场所，更是一个面向公众的绿色避世之所——成为城市肌理的有机延展。这个富有创新性的“绿色街区”概念，不仅强化了社区性，还重新定义了“在地融合”建筑理念。

The use of locally sourced materials that blend with the environment, the coexistence with vegetation in the courtyards, and the creation of open public spaces make the hotel not just a place of accommodation but an accessible oasis—an organic extension of the city. This innovative “green block” concept not only reinforces the community character of the neighborhood but also redefines what it means to integrate architecture into its context.

原有的中央庭院是建筑的核心特色之一，在改造中得到了悉心保留。这片保有原生植被的空间，成为酒店的“心脏”，同时连接起自然与殖民历史。围绕庭院的回廊最大化引入自然光和穿堂风，营造出宁静而富热带风情的氛围。所有客房皆朝向内庭设置阳台，部分房型还配有私人露台与按摩浴缸，提升了整体舒适体验。▼轴测图，axonometric©Moneo Brock Architects

The central courtyard, a key feature of the original structure, has been carefully preserved during the renovation. This space, which retains its native vegetation, has become the heart of the hotel, providing a connection to nature and the colonial legacy. The surrounding corridors maximize natural light and cross ventilation, creating a tranquil, tropical atmosphere. All rooms are designed to offer balconies overlooking the interior courtyards, while some include private terraces with jacuzzis, elevating the comfort experience.

On the rooftop terrace, guests can enjoy a spacious solarium with a swimming pool, a gym, and other amenities. This space offers spectacular views of the sea and the historic district, creating a unique visual connection with the cultural heritage of the Colonial City.

酒店内部设计突出了本地材料的使用，如洞石、大量木材与陶瓷，整体呈现自然朴实且充满地域特色的美学。特别选用的环保木材不仅碳足迹低，还具备良好的隔热性能，呼应了项目对可持续性的重视，并很好地适应了热带气候条件。

The hotel’s interior stands out for its use of local materials such as travertine, wood, and ceramics, which contribute to a natural and authentic aesthetic. Additionally, the carefully selected wood, with a low carbon footprint and insulating properties, reflects the project’s commitment to sustainability, adapting to the region’s tropical climate.
