Sid Lee Architecture事务所公布了其位于多伦多Bloor街道的酒店改造项目，该项目为W Worldwide于多伦多约克维尔社区全新开业的连锁酒店。W酒店的设计基于当地的城市与历史环境，以全新的形象彰显了其致力于成为当地城市文化新地标的雄心。通过对多种场景的重新思考，全新的酒店空间呼应了城市中心的多样性，以流动的空间体验，让人们在酒店内部就能够与这座城市“相遇”。
Sid Lee Architecture is proud to unveil its revitalization project of a Bloor Street hotel for the opening of W Worldwide’s latest property in Toronto’s Yorkville neighborhood. Based on themes derived from the city’s current and historical heritage, the fresh look of W Toronto reflects the banner’s desire to assert itself as a showcase for local culture. Rethought as a multitude of mises en scène, the new spaces echo the diversity of the urban center, and through a fluid design experience, the W Toronto facilitates an encounter with the city within its own walls.

与街道的联系
Connected to the street
“与社区的联系是W ‘s DNA的重要组成部分，将酒店与周围环境联系起来至关重要，但建筑最初的封闭式布局却为实现这一理念带来了挑战，”Sid Lee Architecture建筑师与主要合伙人Martin Leblanc说道，“我们的团队通过将酒店内部与外部环境无缝衔接在一起，将其转化为城市中的连接与社交中心。”建筑师团队为酒店增添了一部能够从街道直接进入的电梯，将“联系”的理念具像化为现实。
“Connection to the community being an important part of W’s DNA, it was vital to connect the hotel to its context, but the original closed-off layout of the building represented an integration challenge” says Martin Leblanc, architect and principal partner at Sid Lee Architecture. “Our team relied on a seamless connection between the interior and the exterior to turn the hotel into a connectivity hub.” That idea was deployed namely around architects-Alliance’s addition of an elevator accessible directly from the street.

在底层，建筑立面向街道开放，并在视觉与空间上与酒店的“日咖夜酒” —— PUBLIC SCHOOL建立起直接的联系。酒吧内，人们的休闲活动围绕着一座引人注目的圆形吧台展开，吧台台面由黑色大理石制成，低调而精致的设计与Bloor街道设计师商店风格相得益彰，同时又以别致且亲切的姿态邀请人们就坐，享受片刻的悠闲时光。
On the ground floor, the facade opens onto the street and allows for a direct connection with PUBLIC SCHOOL: the hotel’s café by day, and cocktail bar by night. The action is set around a casual circular bar adorned by notched black marble panels that fit the context of the designer stores of Bloor Street, while remaining approachable and inviting, and chic yet accessible.

酒店入口空间的改造以一系列色彩缤纷的艺术装饰作品为特色，其灵感来自多伦多的街头艺术文化，希望将城市街道的氛围引入室内。这些由当地艺术家Alan Ganev签名的墙画将游客带回到著名的“涂鸦巷” —— 一条坐落于多伦多时尚区的长达一公里的街头艺术环路。
The redesign of the entrance invites the street inside through the integration of a series of colourful art interventions inspired by Toronto’s own street art culture. The murals, signed by local artist Alan Ganev, take visitors back to the famous “Graffiti Alley”, a street art circuit stretching over a kilometer in the Fashion District.

活力场景
Vibrant scenography
Sid Lee Architecture事务所的设计为电影场景般的酒店入口空间奠定了基调，与充满多伦多本土特色的空间回应了这座加拿大最大且最多样化的大都市的丰富文化，同时也以新的空间形象为W酒店内部拉开了帷幕。设计师将野兽派风格的建筑结构作为空间的中性背景，以充满活力的场景强调出不同的空间。亲生物设计的元素与混凝土的矿物性相结合，将大自然引入到建筑之中。当人们在酒店内漫步时，亲生物的元素不仅让人们与自然保持紧密的联系，同时也彰显出设计对于多伦多著名峡谷景观的致敬，正是这些峡谷共同形成了环绕多伦多的城市森林。
The design by Sid Lee Architecture sets the tone for a cinematic entrance on the Toronto scene as the curtain rises on an updated hotel experience in response to the rich culture of the largest and most diverse Canadian metropolis.The designers used the building’s brutalist quality as a neutral canvas and accentuated the different spaces with vibrant scenography. Elements of biophilic design have been integrated with the minerality of concrete, as if nature had taken over the vestiges of the built environment. While wandering through the hotel, the biophilic elements allow for a constant connection to nature and give a nod to Toronto’s famous ravines, which collectively form an urban forest surrounding the city.

客厅
The Living Room
位于二楼的接待区，也被称为客厅，这里是W品牌的标志性空间。它被规划在一个玻璃立方体中，宛如一方城市绿洲，带领人们远离城市的喧嚣，同时又让人们与当地的文化与背景保持联系。对比鲜明的色彩与材质创造出舒适的氛围，随着冬雪的到来，这种温暖与舒适的感觉将会愈加明显。在客厅里，悬挂的网格、天鹅绒窗帘，以及如同电影放映机般的灯光营造出一种后台的感觉，让人不禁联想到剧院，而家具与艺术品陈设则进一步强调出这种场景感，并在不断变化的场景中为有限空间创造出动态的氛围。客厅的设计旨在向多伦多蓬勃发展的戏剧和电影文化致敬。
Located on the second floor, the reception area, also referred to as The Living Room (a W brand signature space), is housed in a glass cube. It is an urban oasis that allows you to feel detached from the rest of the city, while being surrounded by local references. Its contrasting accents offer a comfort that is amplified with the arrival of snow in winter. Inside The Living Room, suspended grids, velvet curtains, and lighting that resembles movie projectors give the impression of being backstage. The palette and textures, reminiscent of a theater, paired with prop like furniture and art pieces, emphasize this feeling of scenography and complete the dynamic atmosphere of this liminal space in constant shift. This is a tribute to Toronto’s thriving theater and film scene.

一系列大型管道巧妙地为空间进行了分区，而不会破坏空间的自然流动之感，在整个公共与交通区域中创造出亲密氛围。围绕篝火的环形沙发与各种类型的社交空间组合在一起，而天花板上艺术家Kirsten McCrea的壁画作品则为周围的房间提供了生动的景观。
A series of strategically-placed gigantic tubes divide the area without breaking up the natural flow of the space, offering moments of intimacy throughout zones of connection and collaboration. A conversation pit set around a bond fire plays with socializing archetypes, while a horizontal mural designed on the roof by artist Kirsten McCrea offers a lively view for the surrounding rooms.

SKYLIGHT屋顶酒吧与餐厅
SKYLIGHT Rooftop Bar and Restaurant
屋顶酒吧和餐厅的灵感来自城市的多元文化品质，也来自多伦多约克维尔社区特有的嬉皮士文化。“Mashrabiya”式的穿孔屏风、悬挂的植物、彩色陶瓷和温暖的色调创造了宛如《一千零一夜》故事中的奇幻氛围。沙漠的温暖触感伴随着利雅得（沙特阿拉伯首都） 般的舒适氛围，与餐厅/酒吧中的轻松氛围并置，使这里成为了人们逗留休闲的理想场所。
Accessible by an elevator located on the street, the rooftop bar & restaurant is inspired by the city’s multicultural quality, but also by the hippie culture specific to Toronto’s Yorkville neighborhood. “Mashrabiya” type perforated screens, hanging plants, colourful ceramics, and warm tones create a decor worthy of the tales in The Arabian Nights. A relaxed atmosphere that harmoniously juxtaposes the warmth of the desert with the comfort of the Riad is a great place to linger.

客房
Guest-rooms
多伦多W酒店的客房坐落在围绕玻璃立方体客厅的花园中，独特的空间布局营造出令人惊喜的体验。每间客房都由社交区与私人区两个不同区域构成。与典型的酒店房间配置不同，在W酒店的客房中床被放置在窗前，深蓝的色彩由地板延伸至墙面，形成了睡眠区的空间框架，与温暖的帷幔、优雅的吊灯共同构成了具有私密感的背景。这些元素的组合仿佛在房间的后部打造出一处电影场景，但是当人们把目光转向客房入口，瞥见到那些通常隐藏于”幕后“的元素，比如舞台化妆间风格的梳妆镜和衣架时，人们的视角就会发生完全的改变。梳妆台后的区域被规划为社交区，亲切友好的空间氛围使其成为了旅客们与亲友聚会谈天的理想场所，人们可以在此处与亲友们商量好外出的行程与时间。Leblanc补充说:“这种创新的新布局也为每间客房单元提供了额外的生活空间。”
Located around the gardens that surround The Living Room’s glass cube, the guestrooms at the W Toronto are surprising due to their unique layout. The space is composed of two distinct areas: one private and the other rather social. In a departure from the usual hotel room configuration, the bed is placed in front of the window and adorned with warm drapery, pendant lighting, and a deep blue frame that extends across the floor and walls. These elements stand like a movie set at the back of the room, but the perspective completely changes as you shift your gaze towards the door and glance over elements that usually belong behind the scenes, like a dressing room style vanity mirror and a clothing rack. The result is an inviting and friendly area that is conducive to warm gatherings that punctuate outings in the city. “This innovative new layout also allows for extra living space within each unit,” adds Leblanc.

套房
Suites
宽敞与优雅是WOW顶级套房的代名词，它的设计将酒店的戏剧主题发挥到了极致。天花板上装饰着一排排的灯泡，表达了设计对多伦多闪耀的剧院幕布的颂歌。套房内配有热水浴缸，热水浴缸也可以作为冰桶使用。整间套房充满了豪华的细节和复古未来主义的气息，宽敞的起居区为旅客创造一处迷人且独特的娱乐社交空间。
Spacious and elegant, the Extreme WOW suites take the theatrical themes that inhabit the hotel to the extreme. Rows of light bulbs adorn the ceiling as an ode to the shining theater marquees of Toronto. With a hot tub that can also be used as an ice bucket and be punctuated with luxurious details and retro-futuristic accents, the suites offer spacious living areas designed to entertain the most exclusive and glamorous of parties.
