该项目旨在将塞维利亚的一座建于19世纪的宫殿改造为一栋只有12个房间的精品酒店。场地本身的敏感性为建筑介入带来了一定的难度。

The purpose of the project is to transform a 19th century palace into a 12 room exclusive hotel where the monumental conditions of both the property and the urban context are delicate conditions to deal with.

在地面层，既有的后院被移动到建筑的对称轴上，形成新的公共空间，使整个建筑的通透感和连贯性得到加强。两个公共服务区域均以庭院为核心，既有的主空间保留了古典风格，新的空间则更具有现代感。

The two main interventions needed for the transition to its new, more public use, are located in the ground and rooftop. To encourage proper access through the ground floor, the former neglected backyard was moved to a new, more prominent place in the main axis of the building. All direct public services are in and around the courtyards on the ground floor, of which the main one remains classical in style while the new adopts a more contemporary style.

庭院上方的天窗上装饰着一个巨大的枝形吊灯。围绕在庭院周围的走廊使客人可以方便地进入酒店客房，同时与建筑既有的空间特征形成了完美融合。

The main courtyard is embellished by a sculptural “chandelier” that hangs under its skylight. In the intermediate floors of the palace, the gallery around the courtyard offers easy access to the hotel rooms on the top floor which it has been integrated to respect the unique character of the building.
