由IttenBrechbühl建筑事务所设计并由主要承包商HRS建造的现代酒店,在Vevey镇的山上享有完美的位置。它毗邻高速公路,交通便利,距离新的查理-卓别林博物馆和山峰、沃韦市中心以及著名的联合国教科文组织世界文化遗产拉沃葡萄园仅咫尺之遥。由于其高度可见的位置,这些建筑似乎在游客离开主路后就张开双臂欢迎他们。摩登时代酒店已成为该地区的新门户,是查理-卓别林在沃韦的象征。

Designed by the architectural practice of IttenBrechbühl and constructed by the main contractor HRS, Modern Times Hotel enjoys a perfect location amongst the hills above the town of Vevey. It sits adjacent to the motorway for easy access by car, only a stones-throw from the new Charlie Chaplin Museum with the mountains, the heart of Vevey itself, and the famous UNESCO World Heritage site of the Lavaux vineyards closeby. Thanks to its highly visible location, the buildings seems to welcome its visitors with open arms just after they leave the main road. Modern Times Hotel has become a new gateway to the region and is emblematic of Charlie Chaplin’s presence in Vevey.

处于大自然的中心
酒店位于北部的主干道和南部仍在开发中的安静的住宅区之间。由于其位置与山坡平行,建筑本身既定义了整个场地的可建区域,又起到了保护作用。

At the very heart of nature
The hotel is located between the main roads to the north and the quiet residential quarter of the town to the south which is still under development. By way of its position, lying parallel to the hillside, the building itself both defines and serves to protect the whole of the buildable area of the site.

建筑物完美地嵌入到自然倾斜的地形中,充分利用了地形的优势,并被一个大的景观花园包围。在这个公园的中心,人们可以在地中海的色彩中漫步,并在酒店南面的主露台旁看到一个小池塘。在天幕的保护下,露台可以看到 “Rochers de Naye “的山坡。

The building is perfectly embedded into the naturally sloping topography of the site taking full advantage of its relief and surrounded by a large landscaped garden. At the heart of this park one may walk amongst the colours of the Mediterranean and come across a small pond adjacent to the main terrace on the Southern aspect of the hotel. Protected by a canopy, the terrace offers great views to the mountainside of the “Rochers de Naye”.

一个充满活力的外墙
建筑物沿着场地的长度延伸,但它的外墙被设计成一种元素的节奏,只有两个褶皱被打破,宣布了酒店的主要入口和餐厅的位置。贯穿整个建筑的金属条带突出了它的水平性。棕色、青铜色和灰色等色彩温暖的垂直玻璃板,使建筑具有优雅而平静的特点。酒店的北面立面是一连串的平面,根据特定的视角和不断变化的自然光线而改变其外观。

A dynamic facade
The building stretches along the length of the site but its façade has been designed as a rhythm of elements broken by only two folds which announce the main entrance to the hotel and the location of the restaurant. Ribbons of metal that run all around the building otherwise highlight its horizontality. Panels of warmly coloured vertical glazing– brown, bronze, and grey – give the building an elegant, yet calm, character. The northern façade of the hotel reads as a sequence of planes which change in their appearance according ones particular viewpoint and also with the changing natural light.

一系列的周围环境
底层是一个独特而开放的空间,包括主接待处、餐厅、休闲酒吧和会议设施。不同的活动独立于酒店主楼,使其在一年中都有生命力。不同空间的装饰都有其独特的氛围。在接待区,委托艺术家查尔斯-摩根(Charles Morgan)制作的大型动态雕塑,其灵感来自卓别林的电影《摩登时代》,为以黑白为主的色调增添了金属质感;在会议室,优雅的实心橡木地板;清新活泼的紫色、橙色和蓝色给休闲吧带来了纽约地下酒吧的感觉;餐厅采用凡尔赛镶木地板,其氛围更为亲切,大型灯具照亮了米色和灰色的柔和色调,并以蓝色和绿色作为点缀。

A sequence of surroundings
The ground floor is a unique and open space featuring the main reception, restaurant, lounge bar, and conference facilities. The different activities function independently of the main hotel and allow it to have a life all through the year. The decor of the different spaces are distinguished by their own particular atmosphere: In the reception area, a large kinetic sculpture commissioned from the artist Charles Morgan and inspired by Chaplin’s lm “Modern Times” adds metallic touches to a colour palette which is predominantly black and white; in the conference rooms, an elegant floor of solid oak; fresh and lively colours of purples, oranges, and blues give the lounge bar the feeling of a New York speakeasy; the restaurant features Versailles parquet flooring and its atmosphere is more intimate with large lamps illuminating a softer palette of beige and grey punctuated by blues and greens.
