烈日灼烧的沙漠里，可见远处地平线上的水流，暗示着那背后隐藏着广袤无垠的海。在海岸线的中央，这块似乎“包容了一切”的土地上，地平线将沙漠与海洋连接在一起，绘制出最纯粹的景观。建筑师将这种体验转化为设计灵感，希望将沙漠与海共存的环境特质寓于建筑之中。

The first time I visited this property and took in the desert and the diaphanous, clear water running along a horizontal line in the background, I felt the enormous drive of water under a scorching sun. This piece of land, located in the middle of a coastline dotted with “All Inclusives,” would have to be transformed into a box that contained its own sea –practically its own air– given the happy circumstance that the universe had created a desert joined to the sea along a horizontal line. It was the purest, most minimalist landscape a horizon could have drawn.

另一方面，梦境般的景象与建筑所固有的人工美产生碰撞，建筑师希望在此描绘出自己眼中的世界。

On either side, this dreamlike scenery collided with what humans consider to be aesthetic and build and baptize as architecture. I wanted to draw my own version, apart from the rest.

“建筑最美妙之处即在于空间与感官体验的交融，当你真正融入周围的环境时，这种体验会被强化，从而形成空间的归属感。因此我希望能将地平线作为设计的重点，使人们融入这个环境之中。”

I believe that the greatest virtue of architecture is the generation of sensations through space on a series of planes that are found within the realm of sensitivity. I believe this capacity becomes still greater when your surroundings allow you to meld into them, forming thus part of your own space; in this sense, I wanted to take that horizon and bring it into the foreground.

“地平线、黄昏、水，都是设计中不可或缺的元素，而我们的设计旨在将他们结合起来，共同作为建筑的延伸。”

I can talk about horizon, dawn, and water which are inherent to the body of the project, however it is only our duty to integrate them and make them an extension of the building.

水是整个项目的主导元素。Mar Adentro酒店面朝大海，背对喧闹的城市，就像是海边的麦地那（伊斯兰教圣城）。其中每一个漂浮的构筑物就像是独立的宇宙，每一个房间里都能看到海，每个人都有凝视这片海的机会。

The water is an event that borders the entire project; all of the volumes open up toward the sea and turn their backs on the city, which is all that remains of the original surroundings, burdened by noise. Mar Adentro is a kind of Medina that opens out onto the sea. Each floating volume contains interiors that form, in turn, independent universes. Each room visually contains a piece of the sea; no one can resist gazing out at it.

项目旨在以最小工作量、最低成本、最高质量的技术逻辑进行建造，工匠们多是当地的手工艺者。

I believe this project involves the logic of technique , being able to build in the most simple way in the workshop , with the lowest cost and highest possible quality. Our allies were Italians at most, germans, Japanese, north American and all the labor force and prime mater was local with the craftsmanship it entails.

酒店的每个房间都是提前在工厂制作完成的，再跨洋运输到目的地进行人工组装。在建造的过程中，能从手工艺者身上学到许多书本上学不到的实际经验。

Each room was built in a factory. We built the entire interior structure and sent it in boxes across the sea to its destination, where it was assembled on site by local hands. I learned from those German and Italian manufacturers what we sometimes fail to intuit from schools or books over the course of many years.

整个项目都以这种组装模块的方式完成，这些模块既可以作为独立的构筑物，也可以自由组合，例如一个两层的loft，也可拆开变成两个一层的房间。双人间、三人间或四人间的模块相互组合，就可以建造出整栋建筑。这种建造方式的关键之处就在于模块的通用性，以保证它可以完全由工厂制造，并在现场方便地组装起来。

Our project can be constructed entirely through this process, employing a module whose versatility allows it to be divided or added onto, thus becoming autonomous or dependent on another structure. Our main module, for example, is a kind of loft divided in half in order to create two rooms, as simple as that. In summary, the module is a two-, three-, or four-bedroom apartment; a house can be formed by adding on two or four more modules. The important thing is the versatility of this structure, one that can be entirely factory-made then raised on site in a friendly manner.
