在大西洋中间的圣维森特岛，在一个干燥多风的岛屿上，只有在8月份才会下雨。一个法国徒步旅行导游决定为那些想去最近的圣安陶山岛徒步旅行的游客建造自己的酒店。
In the middle of the Atlantic ocean, in the island of Sao Vicente, in a dry windy island where only rain in August. A France trekking guide decides to build his own hotel for the incoming tourists that want to go trekking in the nearest mountain island of Santo Antao.
导游在历史中心的边缘买了一栋殖民时期的老房子，并要求建筑师把这栋老房子也作为新酒店项目的主演和组成部分。他们的游客来到岛上2-3天，经过他的酒店，然后再乘坐渡轮前往另一个岛屿圣安陶。对他的客户来说，这家酒店通常是他们入住的第一个非洲地方。RamosCastellano Arquitectos采用了与周围其他建筑相同的植入理念，使分离的单元适应地形的形态。
The guide bought an old colonial house on the edge of the historical center, and ask the architects that the old house has also to be the starring and part integrate of the new hotel project. Their tourists came to the island for 2-3 days passing by his hotel before taking the ferry for the other island of Santo Antao. The hotel usually for his client is the first African place where they stay. RamosCastellano Arquitectos used the same implantation philosophy of the other surrounding building, adapting the separated units to the morphology of the terrain.
分离的建筑将它们融化在建筑环境中，用山区的当地石头创造出通往房间的道路，为客户准备好下一个目的地–圣安托。每座建筑都面临着从城市到海湾的不同景观，阳台被研究为太阳能路径，试图在白天阻挡太阳的直接照射，并给客人提供一个受保护的角落来欣赏风景。
Separating the buildings melting them in the built environment, creating with the mountain local’s stones the path to the rooms, preparing the clients for the next destination, Santo Antao. Each block is facing a different view from the city to the bay, the verandah is studied with the solar path, trying to block the direct solar irradiation during the day, and giving a protected corner to the guest for enjoying the views.
通常来自撒哈拉沙漠的北-东方向的风被早餐吧的建筑所缓解。所有的房间开口都经过研究，以保证交叉通风和被动气候系统。每一个解决方案都是简化的，以适应岛上缺乏材料和资源的情况，简单和必要的满足基本需求，而不是为了短暂的时尚。几乎所有的东西都是手工制作的，雇用了附近的人，从地板整理到家具，试图在社会环境中分配建筑的经济。
The wind usually coming from the Sahara desert in N-E direction is mitigated by the breakfast-bar building. All the rooms opening are studied for guaranty crossed ventilation and passive climatization systems. Every solution is simplified adapting to the island lack of material and resources, simple and essential for satisfying basic needings, not for ephemeral fashion. Almost everything is handmade, employing people from the neighborhood, from the floor finishing to the furniture, trying to distribute the economy of the building construction in the social environment.
外部材料仍然是原始的，阳台的木材，白色建筑的石灰泥，以对比侵蚀性的元素，太阳，风，海浪。回收的材料，屋顶的光伏板，用于灌溉的水循环系统，强调了项目的生态性，墙体的砖块是用地形的岩石制成的。大门是由从石油桶中回收的金属制成的，这些金属在当地被用来制作门和手工制品。
The external materials remain raw, wood for the verandah, lime puddy for the white buildings, for contrast the aggressive elements, sun, wind, sea spray. Recycled material, photovoltaic panels in the roofs, water recycling systems for the irrigation, emphasize the ecological side of the project, the blocks of the walls are made with the rocks of the terrain. The gate is made of recycled metal from the petroleum barrels, that are used locally for made doors and artisanal objects.
家具是由建筑师设计的，照明系统也是使用当地手工制作的，以及从电缆线圈中回收的木材。绿色殖民时期的老房子是主人的旅游机构，在周围的其他建筑中，有12个酒店房间和一个套房，以及一个悬挂在pilotis上的早餐吧。殖民时期的老房子的屋顶起着核心作用，客人在那里享受早餐和日落。穿过屋顶和酒店房间的路径是由一座桥连接起来的，就像冒险电影中一样。
The furniture is designed by the Architects and the illumination systems too, using locally handcrafted, and recycled wood from electric cable coils. The old green colonial house host the owner’s tourist agency, and in the other surrounding buildings 12 hotel rooms plus a suite, and a suspended on pilotis breakfast bar. The roof of the old colonial house has a central role, where guest enjoys the breakfast and the sunset. The path through the roof and the hotel rooms are made by a bridge that links them, like in an adventures movie.
