토레 드 팔마 와인 호텔은 와인생산지로 유명한 스페인 Alentejo 지역의 평야지대에 위치한다. 호텔설계의 기본원칙은 오래된 기존 농장건물의 복원 및 리모델링 그리고 숙박시설을 위한 최소한의 개입으로 지역 장소성을 연속시키는 건축환경 구축에 있다. 이는 이전 건축물의 배치 유지, 인테리어 및 거주환경 개선을 위한 오프닝 축 등 최소한의 개보수를 진행한다. 그렇다고 이전 공간에 대한 현상유지로만 프로젝트는 그치지 않는다. 신 구의 다른 시각에 따른 입장을 새롭게 정의하는 외장재 및 건축어휘로 무장한다. 콘크리트 스트럭쳐, 벽돌로 이루어진 벽체, 콘크리트 지붕 바닥은 지역적 건축색체 위에 투숙객들을 위한 현대적 생활공간으로 공간을 가공한다. 무엇보다 재가공된 로컬건축은 -이제는 자연과 동화되어 자연속에 일부분이 되어버린 이전건축 및 공간들- 불필요한 장식물이 제거된 현대 모던 건축으로 새롭게 태어난다.

In the landscape of the great lowlands of the Alentejo region (Portugal), the Torre de Palma estate includes an extent of agricultural fields and a sizable group of buildings confined on the southeast side of the property.
The intervention included both the repair and remodeling of the old farm buildings and the construction from scratch of a new set of buildings, based on precise gestures, respecting the lands’ exceptional features.

Completion: 2014
In the reconstruction of the pre-existent structures, the general configuration of each building was kept, comprising only a few minor changes in the interior spaces and the insertion of new openings when needed. Wherever necessary, structural elements, roofs or coatings were also replaced.
The new constructions had two different natures: entirely new buildings that were placed outside of the original built aggregate and new buildings that replaced old constructions – degraded and with no historic or architectonic interest – with a new common material identity: concrete structure, masonry walls and concrete slabs roofs.
In general, the land kept its original features with subtle variations according to the specificity of each area of the estate. In order to unify the space, the main yard was paved with stabilized clay, bounded by a perimeter in traditional white marble cobblestone from the Alentejo region.
Outside the main aggregate, five different areas were created: a vineyard close to the ancient “levada” (a traditional irrigation channel); an olive grove close to the new swimming pool; a kitchen garden with large garden beds for organic vegetables and herbs; an orchard area close to the farm warehouses and a meadow area close to the stables and the horse riding arena.
