该建筑是罗阿坦岛经济发展特区的第一个建筑,其名称归功于此。该项目由Próspera平台委托,以促进该地区的地方经济,该项目旨在通过一个标志性的、区域性的、现代的建筑为未来的项目奠定基础。

The building owes its name to be the first construction in a special economic development zone on the island of Roatán. Commissioned by the Próspera platform to boost the local economy in the territory, the project seeks to lay the foundations for future projects with an iconic, regional, contemporary building.

该中心位于一个得天独厚的地区,沉浸在大自然中,该中心的概念是围绕着空间的热带化和为日常活动提供一个新的方法。

Located in a privileged region, immersed in nature, the concept for this center for entrepreneurs revolves around tropicalizing the spaces and giving a fresh approach to day-to-day activities.

该项目寻求以现代/地方建筑设计来适应环境,整合桩和木梁等元素,并重新解释其他元素,如栏杆和倾斜的屋顶,将本地建筑作为一个重要的参考点,以适应气候条件并实现与当地建筑的关系。

The project seeks to adapt to the environment with a contemporary/local architectural design, integrating elements such as piles and mullions, and reinterpreting others such as railings and sloping roofs, using vernacular constructions as an important point of reference to adapt to climatic conditions and achieve a relationship with local architecture.

该建筑为混合使用而设计,在围绕中央花园建造的三个模块中,将工作活动与生活和住宿空间相结合。朝南的模块构成了项目的主立面;因此,它被强加了一个大的双高屋顶,由钢柱和连续的木板支撑。这个模块接待游客,并设有会议室和服务。穿过中央花园的走廊,朝东的模块将工作和休息区分别分布在两层。朝北的模块,除了向海滩开放外,还在两层结合了各种用途的空间:生活区、协作工作区、厨房、卧室和一个公共露天餐厅。

Designed for mixed-use, the building’s program combines work activities with living and lodging spaces in three modules built around a central garden. The south-facing module constitutes the main façade of the project; as such it is imposed with a large double-height roof, supported by steel columns and serial mullions. This module receives visitors and houses meeting rooms and services. Passing through the corridor of the central garden, the east-facing module distributes both work and rest areas on two levels, respectively. The north-facing module, in addition to opening onto the beach, combines on two levels spaces for various uses: living areas, collaborative workspaces, kitchen, bedrooms, and a common open-air dining room.

该建筑战略性地位于场地的最高点,那里的植被不太茂密,可以看到岛屿和大海的全景,这有助于捕捉微风和利用景观的优势。

The building is strategically located at the highest point of the site where vegetation is less dense, with a panoramic view of the island and the sea, which helps to catch the breeze and take advantage of the views of the landscape.

在建筑方面,建议采用木质框架结构,并在需要扩大跨度的地方结合钢构件。与当地的建筑一样,建筑高出地面一米,作为一种地形适应策略和气候控制的方法。在太阳入射率最高的地区,通过屋檐、百叶窗和百叶窗等元素保证自然通风。

In terms of construction, a wood frame structure is proposed combined with steel elements where the span needs to be wider. As in local constructions, the building is raised one meter above the ground as a topographic adaptation strategy and a method of climate control. In areas with the highest solar incidence, the natural flow of ventilation is guaranteed through elements such as eaves, mullions, and shutters.

贝塔大楼是一个建筑作品,它的重点是在热带环境中创造理想的关系和合作空间,其中最主要的元素是植被、海风和使用当地已知技术的材料,被预测为该地区发展的起点。

The Beta Building is a work of architecture that focuses on creating ideal spaces for relationships and collaborative work around a tropical environment, where the predominant elements are the vegetation, the sea breeze, and the use of materials with locally known technologies, projected as the starting point for the development of the area.
