萨克斯工作室已经完成了一个精品酒店和瑜伽室的设计，该酒店位于哥斯达黎加诺萨拉的热带景观中。该项目是萨克斯工作室一系列可持续建筑中的另一个项目，它将当代设计与当地工艺相融合，并拥抱环绕建筑的自然环境。
Studio Saxe has completed a boutique hotel and yoga studio set into the tropical landscape of Nosara, Costa Rica. The project is another in a long line of sustainable buildings from the practice that blend contemporary design with local craftsmanship, embracing the natural environment that surrounds and frames the architecture.
诺萨拉已经成为世界各地游客的健康、保健和冲浪的目的地，因此Nalu-Nosara酒店的业主Nomel和Mariya Libid希望设计能够反映他们客人的态度。瑜伽室作为一个多功能的健身空间，也变得异常受欢迎，四面都被茂密的植被笼罩，因此成为一个锻炼和放松的丛林静修所。
Nosara has become a destination for visitors from around the world for health, wellness and surfing and so the owners of Hotel Nalu-Nosara, Nomel and Mariya Libid, wanted a design that reflects the attitude of their guests. The yoga studio, which has also become incredibly popular as a multipurpose gym space, is enveloped by lush vegetation on all sides and therefore becomes a jungle retreat for exercise and relaxation.
酒店为客人提供的是独立的亭子 “家”，而不是房间，距离海洋只有几分钟的步行路程。通过打破传统单体酒店的体量，建筑师能够将生活空间分散在树木之间，在被自然世界包围的同时创造一种隐私感。在对风和太阳模式进行缜密研究后，每个亭子都被精心定位，同时确保它们都有独立的景观视野。重叠的木制屋顶在每个亭子上伸出来，为赤道上强烈的阳光提供遮蔽。这些屋顶由回收的柚木板制成，形成不均匀的图案，进一步强调了当地工艺和现代设计之间的张力。房间通过走廊连接，将斑驳的阳光从上面的凉棚屋顶过滤下来，并将更多的景色框在茂盛的环境中。
Guests at the hotel are provided with individual pavilion ‘homes’ rather than rooms, located just a few minutes walk from the ocean. By breaking up the mass of the traditionally monolithic hotel, the architects were able to scatter living spaces amongst the trees and create a sense of privacy while surrounded by the natural world. Each pavilion has been carefully positioned following meticulous research into wind and sun patterns, while ensuring they are all provided with an individual view out to the landscape. Overlapping timber roofs project out over each pavilion providing shade from the intense equatorial sun. These roofs are made of recycled Teak planks, creating uneven patterns that further emphasise this tension between local craftsmanship and modern design. Rooms are connected via corridors that filter dappled sunlight down from the pergola roofs above and frame more views out the lush surroundings.
建筑师Benjamin Garcia Saxe说。”我们的项目Nalu代表了简单、低调、现代热带建筑的力量。它已迅速成为城镇的宠儿，这表明人们真正渴望占据空间，使人们更接近自然，同时满足当代生活的需要”。
Architect Benjamin Garcia Saxe said: “Our project Nalu represents the power of simple, low-key, modern tropical architecture. It has quickly become a town favourite, which shows that there is a real desire to occupy spaces that bring people closer to nature, while addressing the needs of contemporary life.”
