该项目源于对墨西哥城标志性品牌陈列室的改造。所涉及的区域包括一个外部空间,是通往其他地下空间的入口。该品牌丰富的历史和对细节的一丝不苟促使我们设计了一个 “工艺品库”,作为进入一系列门槛和过渡区域的入口,将光线、纹理和尺度的感官体验交织在一起。参观者在这里可以与外界隔绝,慢慢发现阿方索-玛丽娜的标志性作品。

The project arises from the commission to revitalize the iconic brand’s showroom in Mexico City. The intervened area comprises an external volume that serves as an entry point to other underground spaces. The rich history and meticulous attention to detail that distinguishes the brand prompted us to create a “craftsmanship vault” that acts as an entryway to a series of thresholds and transitional areas that weave together a sensory experience of light, textures, and scales. All while visitors disconnect from the outside and slowly discover Alfonso Marina’s iconic pieces.

石头外墙就像一幅画布,捕捉着光影的千变万化,是一座工艺和传统的殿堂。进入建筑后,楼梯由木质天花板和墙壁构成,表现出一种温暖的韵律。继续向下进入项目的道路是一个门槛,通过将游客笼罩在阴影中,并将深色材料与重音和光的反射形成对比,强化了分离的概念。这让人期待与主展厅的相遇。

The stone façade serves as a canvas upon which the ever-changing nature of light and shadows is captured, a temple of craftsmanship and tradition. Upon entering the building, a staircase is framed by a wood ceiling and walls that express a warm rhythm. The path that continues down into the project as a threshold reinforces the idea of separation by enveloping visitors in shadow and contrasting dark materiality with accents and reflections of light. This builds anticipation towards the encounter with the main gallery.

暗色蜿蜒过渡到博物馆空间。体量和空隙产生了多层次的光线,框住了壁龛或为其他空间创造了开口。角度透视在产生不断变化的视野感方面发挥了作用。设计工作室是博物馆的第一个空间,从这里可以看到主展厅。再往下走,主展厅空间被划分为不同的平台和平台台,放置着主要的展品。墙壁和天花板的交汇处形成了空隙,作为采光井从上方对空间进行清洗。楼梯和天桥是次要空间的衔接元素,专门用于举办更为传统的展览。
灯光和材料的使用方式,以及精心设计的视觉和路标,与展品形成了一种独特的共生关系,这种完全的平衡体现了制作精美家具和创造感官环境的工艺。

The dark meandering transitions into the Museum space. Volumes and voids generate layers of light, framing niches or creating openings in other spaces. Angled perspective plays a role in generating a feeling of ever-changing views. The design workshop is the first space at the Museum, it provides a view of the main gallery. Further down, the main gallery space is divided into different platforms and landings holding the main pieces of the exhibit. The intersecting of walls and ceiling creates voids that act as light wells washing the spaces from above. A staircase and bridge serve as articulating elements for the secondary spaces, dedicated to a more traditional type of exhibit.
The way light and materials are utilized along with the carefully designed visual and wayfinding, create a unique symbiosis with the exhibited pieces, a total equilibrium that exemplifies the craft of making fine furniture and of creating sensory environments.
