这家拥有45间客房的酒店位于市中心的州街524号，是一家20世纪酒店的现代翻版。在这次改造之前的10年里，这座15617平方英尺的建筑一直是山达基教会的总部，通过墙壁基本上与社区隔绝开来。设计方法保留了神秘感，同时为流行的休闲区域带来意想不到的设计前卫的旅行体验。
The 45-key hotel, situated in the heart of downtown at 524 State Street, is a modern reincarnation of a 20th-century hotel that once occupied this location. For the previous 10 years prior to its current transformation, the 15,617-square-foot building had served as the home of the Church of Scientology, largely cut off from the community through it’s the walls. The design approach preserves the sense of mystery while bringing an unexpected and design-forward travel experience to the popular leisure area.
与此形成鲜明对比的是，现代室内设计打破了这种传统的设计模式，以黑色为主要色调，辅以混凝土和木材。从San Jose del Cabo的第一家Drift酒店汲取灵感，酒店采用了来自加利福尼亚和墨西哥制造商的产品，在向品牌的巴哈根源致敬的同时，也彰显了其加利福尼亚沿海地区的特色。
In contrast, the modern interiors break this traditional design mold, with black as the main accent, complemented by concrete and wood. Drawing inspiration from the first Drift property in San Jose del Cabo, the hotel is dressed with goods from Californian and Mexican makers, paying homage to the brand’s Baja roots while celebrating its coastal Californian locale.
外部建筑将该地区与周围受西班牙影响的社区联系在一起，保留了白色灰泥墙、拱形窗和赤陶瓦。作为修复工作的一部分，面临的挑战是既要在历史背景下工作，又要创造出吸引现代游客的体验。一楼的布局非常开放，咖啡馆和酒吧之间有可操作的墙壁，为当地人和游客创造了一个合作的空间。车库门朝向步行街，以激发游客的兴趣，并揭示这座历史建筑的神秘和历史。
The exterior architecture connects the area to the surrounding community of Spanish influences, preserving and salvaging the white stucco walls, arched windows, and terracotta tiles. As part of a restoration, the challenge was to work within the historic context while creating experiences that are appealing to the modern traveler. The first-floor layout is very open, with operable walls between the coffee shop and bar to create a space for locals and travelers to collaborate. The garage doors open towards the pedestrian-only promenade to spark interest from wanderers and reveal the mystery and history of this historic structure.
与一般的酒店客房相比，这里的客房显得十分紧凑，但在设计上却别出心裁，最大限度地利用了房间的面积，例如在床架下设计了一个凹室，用于放置随身携带的行李；在淋浴间设计了一个玻璃角，使房间一进门就显得更加宽敞，同时又保持了舒适的感觉。修复后的建筑不仅为这座原本破旧空置的建筑注入了活力，同时又有助于保护和向游客介绍圣巴巴拉丰富的文化。
Rooms, compact compared to the average hotel room, are creatively designed to maximize the square footage through design choices such as an alcove built under the bed frame to tuck away carry-on luggage and a shower featuring a glass corner to make the room look and feel more spacious upon entry, while maintaining the cozy feel. The restoration introduces a vibrant use to a previously dilapidated and generally vacant building, while helping to preserve and introduce travelers to the rich culture of Santa Barbara.
