酒店位于托雷斯-德尔-佩恩国家公园的北部入口，在萨米恩托湖畔。与广袤的南巴塔哥尼亚相比，这个地方有着巨大的规模。这些特点将该项目与该地区的规模联系起来。
The hotel is located at the northern entrance of Torres del Paine National Park, on the shores of Lake Sarmiento. The place has a great magnitude compared to the vastness of Patagonia Austral. These features connect the project to the magnitude of the territory.
此外，生态旅游是对自然的体验。现代人没有能力在没有保护的情况下生活在户外，这就是为什么建筑应该像第二层皮肤一样，允许体验这个神秘的地方的力量和美丽。领土就像一个身体，头部是佩恩山脉，手臂是界定湖泊边界的地理标志，腿是进入该地的途径，在心脏处你可以找到酒店。
Moreover, ecotourism is the experience of nature. Modern man is not equipped to live in the open air without protection, which is why the building should be like a second skin, allowing to experience the power and beauty of this mystical place. The territory is like a body, in the head is located the Paine massif, the arms are geographical landmarks that define the boundaries of the lake, the legs are the way to access the site and in the heart you find the hotel.
建筑的形状来自于风，是该地区特有的自然元素。这个形式寻求加入这个地方的形而上的景观。酒店的形象看起来像一个古老的史前动物化石，搁浅在湖岸边。酒店用石堤固定在地面上，完全用洗净的伦加木板涂抹，以获得被水腐蚀的木材常见的银色。
The building shape emerges from the wind, natural element which is characteristic of the zone. The form seeks to join the metaphysical landscape of the place. The hotel’s image looks like an ancient fossil of a prehistoric animal, stranded on the shore of the lake. The hotel is anchored to the ground with stone embankments and entirely coated with wood paneling of washed lenga, in order to get the silver color which is common of wood corroded by water.
空间的解决方案是为了解决磨损和小规模空间的问题，空间的结构是由内部路线构成的，这是居住在这个扩展区的方式。在卧室的区域，道路是由悬挂在空隙上的桥梁组成的。
La solución espacial busca el abrigo y la pequeña escala, esta se estructura a partir The space is structured from the interior routes, which are the way of inhabiting this extension. In the bedroom`s area the path is made with bridges suspended over the void.
酒店所在的土地属于该地区的一个定居者家庭，所以室内建筑寻求居住在酒店的体验，作为业主的家，而不是作为一个国际酒店。
The land where the hotel is located belongs to a family of settlers of the region, so the interior architecture seeks the experience of inhabiting the hotel as the home of the owners and not as an international hotel.
