巴哈俱乐部为酒店经营者Grupo Habita建造了一个拥有32间客房的生活方式酒店，位于墨西哥南下加利福尼亚州拉巴斯市历史中心的一块美丽的海滨大道上。这个3623平方米的项目融合了新与旧，由位于墨西哥城的Max von Werz Arquitectos和位于巴黎的室内设计工作室Jaun设计，将1910年存在的殖民主义风格的别墅（曾经是牡蛎珍珠的收获地）的修复和适应性再利用结合起来，并建造了一个新的四层楼的扩展部分和地下室，包括客房、套房、水疗和一个屋顶日落酒吧。

Baja Club entails a 32–room lifestyle hotel for hoteliers Grupo Habita located on a beautiful plot of coastal promenade in the historic center of La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico. Blending old with new, the 3623 m2 project –designed by Mexico City-based Max von Werz Arquitectos and Paris based interior design studio Jaune– brings together the restoration and adaptive reuse of a pre-existing colonial-style villa dating from 1910 –once a site for oyster pearl harvesting– and the construction of a new four-story extension plus basement containing guestrooms, suites, a spa, and a rooftop sunset bar.

新的建筑与别墅的L型平面图相呼应，形成了一个松散地框住中央庭院的组合，这里有几棵芬芳的法桐树，同时沿着场地的周边隔离出一系列更宁静的花园和天井。在整个项目中，材料调色板借鉴了该物业的原始细节，包括手工水磨石和塔拉维拉瓷砖，手工完成的木格子和木工，以及透明和琥珀色调的吹制玻璃灯。

The new build echoes the L–shaped floor plan of the villa resulting in an ensemble that loosely frames a central courtyard, home to several fragrant frangipani trees while isolating a series of more tranquil gardens and patios along the perimeter of the site. Throughout the project, the material palette draws on the property’s original detailing, including artisanal terrazzo and Talavera tiles, hand-finished timber latticework and carpentry, and blown glass lamps in transparent and amber tones.

扩建部分的分层结构减少了其视觉上的体积，并提供了宽敞的露台，享受拉巴斯湾的全景，这里曾是约翰-斯坦贝克的小说《珍珠》的背景。微妙的航海内涵，如新建筑的水平流线型、弯曲的木制隔板和巨大的内置桌子，从附近的科尔特斯海获得灵感，该海曾被雅克-库斯托称为 “世界的水族馆”。垂直流通的形式是在新建筑两翼之间的铰链处设置了一个宽敞的螺旋形楼梯。这是一个几乎是雕塑般的元素，也是新建建筑的核心。由于其舒适的踏板与梯子的比例，它将游客轻松地扫到上层客房和屋顶的日落酒吧，使他们不愿意使用位于同一露天大堂空间的电梯。

The tiered massing of the extension reduces its visual bulk and provides generous terraces enjoying panoramic views of the Bay of La Paz, once the setting of John Steinbeck’s novel The Pearl. Subtle nautical connotations such as the new build’s horizontal streamlining, curved timber bulkheads, and massive built-in tables draw inspiration from the nearby Sea of Cortés once famously coined the “aquarium of the world” by Jacques Cousteau. Vertical circulation is resolved in form of a generous helical staircase positioned at the hinge point between the two wings of the new building. It’s an almost sculptural element and the centerpiece of the addition. Due to its comfortable tread to riser ratio, it sweeps visitors up to the upper guestroom levels and the rooftop sunset bar with ease that disincentivizes the use of the elevators which are located off of the same open-air lobby space.

客房走廊也是露天的，由促进交叉通风的桁架顶棚元素遮挡。在可能的情况下，采用了被动式设计方案。例如，新建筑的悬臂式钢筋混凝土楼板作为被动式遮阳元素，极大地减少了室内空间的太阳辐射热量，最大限度地减少了对机械空调的依赖。整个项目中的许多水元素导致蒸发，从而在拉巴斯炎热和干燥的沙漠气候中使室外空间变得清新。 该项目保留了大部分的景观区和本地植被，因为它们存在于以前的住宅区中。旧物业的墙壁及其大型仿古砖雕被完整地保留下来。一个新的游泳池位于宁静的外院之一。由景观设计师PAAR构思的大型砖砌平台延续了巨大的砖砌房产墙的语言，并容纳了盆栽梅花和日光浴，可以看到用光滑的墨西哥灰泥Chukum手工制作的游泳池。

Guestroom corridors are also open-air, shaded by brise–soleil elements that promote cross ventilation. Passive design solutions were employed where possible. For instance, the new build’s cantilevered reinforced concrete floor plates serve as passive shading elements that vastly reduce solar heat gain to the interior spaces and minimize the dependence on mechanical air conditioning. Numerous water elements throughout the project cause evapotranspiration and thus refresh the outdoor spaces in La Paz’s hot and dry desert climate. The project preserves the majority of landscaped areas and native vegetation as they existed in the pre-existing residential property. The old property walls with their large–format antique brickwork were preserved in their entirety. A new pool is located in one of the peaceful outer courtyards. Large brick platforms conceived by the landscape designers PAAR continue the language of the massive brick property walls and accommodate potted plumerias and sunbeds with a view to the swimming pool finished in the smooth artisanal Mexican stucco Chukum.
