In conserving the building’s original façades and the main walls, a new contemporary direction was then proposed. Now resembling a hacienda, the DOWNTOWN Mexico hotel and the DOWNTOWN Beds hostel housed in the same building are spatially separated through the inner courtyard. The patios are the main distributors of space. Allowing for natural light and ventilation, they also consequently decrease any dependence on energy as they allow for natural light and air to enter. The 17 guest rooms and suites of thehotel have been located on the first and second levels. Alluring and simple, grey walls and tiled floors, set against light timber detailing, exposed concrete walls and vaulted high brick ceilings provide a neutral backdrop for retro lamps and bespoke furniture that aid towards creating their austere, bohemian-chic elegance.
The overall splendor of this palace is juxtaposed by the immense terrace above. Covering the whole rooftop, guests can enjoy drinks or cooling dips in the pool whilst admiring the panoramic views of the historic city.Discover this two-part project through the pictures that follow:
