Cherem Arquitectos
Located near "El Zocalo", right in the heart of the old city where the Aztecs first settled and afterwards the Spaniards built churches and palaces using the existing stones that were part of the Aztec pyramids. "Downtown" is settled on a magnificent palace, witness of the XVII century architecture. Known as the "Palacio de los Condes de Miravalle", the red volcanic rock walls, the multiple doors, window quarry frames and the handmade cement tiles, along with the glorious patios and a spectacular stone-forge staircase provide the building the unique flavor of the Mexican vice regal style. The intervention preserved the original faรงades and the main walls, and although we took advantage of the general distribution of the space, a new order with a contemporary look was proposed, attributing a new identity and character to the building. The architectural program is original and innovative, with a combination of boutique hotel and hostel within the same building. Both concepts are spatially separated working as two different elements. The access floor welcomes the visitor into an interior patio of triple height, a clear representation of the important colonial heritage. The ground floor has two other inner courtyards, which separate the spaces and surround the corridors resembling a Hacienda. The patios are the main distributors of space, allowing natural light and ventilation into the hotel and consequently decreasing the use of energy, artificial light and air conditioning. The guest rooms are located in the first and second level and are attractively designed in neutral tones, spiced up with retro lamps and custom designed furniture. The traditional red brick is protagonist through the interiors. By taking advantage of the nobility of this material, we designed a lattice which is constant in the rooms, furniture and walls. The rooftop is equipped with a restaurant and pool, offering panoramic views of the city and crowning the project.

The decision was taken to preserve a historic facade, despite the fact that it is not officially protected, and to insert the building between it and the party wall of the adjacent building. The new building treats the rooms as if they were shelves, using wells of the highly compact old district to afford a dramatic ambience to the common spaces, which are located below street level. The relationship of the neat and static facade, which yields a programme of conventional rooms with the other facades in the area, is imbued with a certain complexity and change. It uses a huge wrap that reflects the changing light of day on the facade of the new building. These decisions are all about space, but they are also about integration. Being very somber and direct, we would have to say that the facade is conserved as a memory of the building that once stood there, but also as a tool for negotiating with the regulations and securing permission, yes sir right away yes sir, making it possible to recess the building on the ground floor, form a porch and open up an inner patio inside the utterly dense maze of streets in the area. Working thus with the legislation will render it possible to locate rooms on the ground floor, in turn solving the conditions of privacy with peculiar clustering systems, with light entering radically and split-level floors. The aim of the huge wrap covering the facade is for the building's appearance to change during the day both from inside the rooms and from the street, while lighting conditions also vary on the inside and on the outside. It is a commitment to integration with the variety of the surrounding buildings. The sobriety and seriation called for by economy of resources applied in the construction of this building is granted a degree of variety by this huge wrap, which will change with the seasons and will filter the natural light of day differently to the artificial nighttime light. Asking the user, the new hotel has two different miens depending on
whether you are in the room or in any one of the common areas. The public areas in the building, below street level, are treated heterogeneously to generate cozy corners and different ambiences. A variety of forms, colors and furniture is offered, as an extension of the street-level dynamism that is not actually within sight. And on the contrary, the rooms are imbued with sobriety to make for easy adaptation to the tourist's decisions. From the inside of the room a direct visual relationship is established with the street through the shower area, located on the facade, and the huge wrap which, with the help of vinyl, protects it from the eyes of the street. The hotel, albeit a place of rest for the tourist, seeks to remain ultraurban, peppering the inside with a dose of the outside, with objects and combinations in the public areas and views of the street from the rooms, hence the building is akin to a door onto the street and, in turn, onto the hidden, private and heterogeneous parts of a historic district.

Different types of hotel offer varying standards of quality and facilities. Hotels may be part of a chain or independent. In general, accommodation facilities (rooms, toilets, bathrooms, shower rooms, hallways and floor service, should occupy 50% of the floor area. Public guest rooms, a reception area, hall and lounges require 7%, and hospitality areas, restaurants, and bars 7%. A banqueting area with meeting and conference rooms needs 10%, domestic areas, kitchens, personnel rooms and stores 14%. Administration, management and secretarial 2% and leisure sport, shops may require 10% Hotels offer different types of accommodation and, most commonly, the size and number of beds dictates dimensions and layout of rooms. Corridor space should be about 6m2 per room, and normally at least 1,5-1,8m wide. Hotels should provide facilities for the handicapped and disabled in at least 1-2% of rooms.

Separate routes should be provided for guests, staff and goods. There is always movement in and near a hotel. Customers move from parking areas, through the entrance and reception, and then to lifts, staircases or corridors leading to bedrooms or public rooms. In most hotels, customers are not allowed to go from bedrooms direct to the car park without passing through reception. Staff move from staff housing, via their own entrance and changing rooms, to kitchens, service areas, bars, workshops, etc. All delivieries must be taken to the correct department or storage area, perhaps using special lifts.

Hotels with conference facilities may include a multifunctional central hall, meeting rooms, exhibition areas and buffet facilities. Storage for extra furniture and additional parking space may be necessary. Specialist facilities may include audiovisual media rooms, projection equipment, simultaneous translation facilities, copying machines, etc. Floor service is orientated toward the routes leading to the guest's rooms. For maximum efficiency it is important that routes are as short as possible.

Care should be exercised when sizing restaurants on the basis of people per square metre since circulation requirements and table layouts, etc., vary considerably.

Kitchen size is determined by the number of workstations, the space required for equipment, the range of meals and the extent of food preparation. Kitchen planning requires four stages of development: determine a process plan covering all major areas; check maximum and minimum personnel needs per area; space allocation. List the activities and functions of each of the three main areas: kitchen, stores and service. The central interface between guest, stores ans service areas is the waiters' servery. Around this point are grouped the facilities for serving food and drinks as well as for disposal of soiled utensils and waste.

The hospitality and lodging industry has had a surge of new age options make their way into the marketplace in past years. Travellers are already flocking to companies like Airbnb and Couchsurfing.com or even experiential resorts when looking for a place to stay during popular events or when they want an experience that is different than something they could get at a hotel. PinkCloud has come up with a new addition to the alternative hotel space with the concept of pop up hotels in vacant office buildings, operating under the mentality that if the space is available, re-purpose it in order to meet an exhibited need. The company was recently named a finalist and grand prize winner of the 2013 Radical Innovation in Hospitality competition in Las Vegas. Excerpts from their submission cited compelling statistics detailing the level of thought and strategy that went into creating this concept. "Class A office vacancies have been stagnant at around twenty-two percent for the past five years. This translates to about 17 million square feet of empty space in Midtown. With over 17 million square feet of empty space located minutes away from Times Square, Broadway and Central Park, we believe Midtown represents an incredible opportunity for hospitality to transform otherwise empty space into a vibrant hub of entertainment, amenities, and lifestyle."

An oil silo is a storage container for compressed liquefied petroleum gas. There are approximately 49,000 oil silos in over 660 oil refineries worldwide! As the human population increases at an exponential rate, oil discovery decreases at an exponential rate. Soon all existing oil silos will be abandoned as fuel storage containers. The Oil Silo Home is a 100% self-supporting housing solution for the post-oil world. It's highly structurally stable, waterproof, efficient to assemble and disassemble, and has the capacity for prefabrication and mass production. Waste and embodied energy are dramatically reduced by the Oil Silo Home. The silo's spherical shape optimizes surface area for collecting solar energy. As a carbonpositive design, the Oil Silo Home can actually contribute energy back into the grid.
