加拿大ACDF建築公司最近在蒙特利爾完成了Monville酒店的設計。蒙特利爾是魁北克的法語區城市，”Monville”這個名字也正是混合了法語單詞的含義，即”我的城市”，酒店希冀通過這個名字讓它成為蒙特利爾這座城市的窗口和代表。Monville酒店有別於那些追求奢華與高調的酒店,它的目標人群是尋求極簡生活的遊客，去除所有不必要的物品，以實惠的價格為客人提供精致的住宿。
Using monochromatic palette both inside and out, Canadian firm ACDF Architecture has recently completed Hotel Monville in Montreal. Monville – a tongue-in-cheek Anglophone mix-up for the French words meaning “my city” – is one of the hotel’s many subtle cues that express a contemporary flavour of Montreal. Established by the owners of Old Montreal’s Hotel Gault, and the flagship for a future collection of properties, Hotel Monville targets travellers seeking “more for less” — removing all the unnecessary items, instead of providing guests with a sophisticated stay at an affordable price.
ACDF建築事務所為這座包含269間客房的酒店賦予了當地的特征和與Gault酒店相似的優雅感，同時用設計呼應了酒店獨特的經營理念。建築的體量以一種現代主義的“tromp l’oeil”式設計（利用眼睛的錯覺）從周圍建築群中脫穎而出。纖薄的立麵由預製的混凝土板構成，每個窗格對應著一間客房。窗框的圖案經過組合之後為整個立麵帶來節奏感、紋理感和適宜的深度。
ACDF Architecture set out to design a 269-room property with the local character and sophistication of Hotel Gault, but with a design aligned with Monville’s unique concept. Distinguished from the surrounding buildings by its height and its modernist tromp l’oeil design, the slender building’s façade is comprised of prefabricated concrete panels – each window demarcating a single suite. The panels comprise a pattern that breaks down the overall appearance of the façade, while giving it texture and depth.
三層高的裙樓以玻璃幕牆圍合，使街道上的行人能夠看到大堂和酒吧內部。優雅且用色簡單的外觀呼應著酒店內部幹淨整潔的公共空間，包括大堂酒吧、Gourmet Monville咖啡館、各種集會區域、圖書館以及三個帶有寬敞露台的頂層客房。
At grade, a three-storey curtain wall podium gives passersby views into the lobby/bar. The hotel’s elegant and monochromatic exterior matches the clean aesthetic of its interior public spaces, which include a lobby bar, the Gourmet Monville cafe, and various meeting areas, as well as a library and three rooftop rooms with a spacious outdoor terrace.
客人首先從帶有傾斜天花板的前廳進入三層高的大堂，巨型的立柱傳達出大教堂般的莊嚴氛圍。這些立柱在帶來永恒感和神秘感的同時也定義出了獨特的區域和私密空間。白色的底座搭配以特別定製的Lambert & Fils燈具，為大堂賦予了人性化的尺度。以橡木覆蓋的牆板沿著窗戶排列，能夠同時起到遮擋視線和平衡空間私密性的作用。窗戶對麵的牆壁上，懸浮的橡木盒子容納了夾層空間、DJ台和洗手間走廊。公共區域為客人們提供了不同風格的就座選擇，包括蒙特利爾的格子布藝沙發以及皮革長椅等。
Guests enter through a vestibule with angled ceiling before arriving in the soaring triple- height lobby. There, oversized columns convey the awe of a cathedral. The columns impart monumentality and mystery, while also establishing distinct zones and areas of privacy. Their white bases, lit by custom-designed Lambert & Fils lamps, help to provide the lobby with more human-scaled proportions. Along the windows, oak-clad fins both channel and shield views inside from the street, further contributing to the lobby’s play between openness and intimacy. On the opposite wall, floating oak boxes hold the mezzanines, the DJ booth and a washroom corridor. The public area encourages guests to linger and socialize, with varied seating options and styles, including Montreal tartan sofas and leather banquettes.
大堂還裝飾著一幅由當地藝術家Valerie Jodoin Keating專門為酒店打造的壁畫，以複古的黑白場景使客人們能夠一睹蒙特利爾的曆史。抽象的鋼製屏風使人聯想到城市中獨特的外置樓梯。大堂的中央設有一個菱形的白色水磨石吧台，搭配以黃銅材質的細部。全黑色的咖啡館與吧台形成對比，從早到晚為客人提供當地的特色美食。
Local artist Valerie Jodoin Keating created a custom mural for the space featuring vintage black and white photographs of urban life to amuse guests with glimpses of Montreal’s history. A steel screen abstractly recalls the city’s distinctive exterior staircases. At the apex of the space, there’s a lozenge-shaped white terrazzo bar with brass detailing. By contrast, the all-black and boxy cafe transitions from day to night, with a chef preparing an array of local fare from poutine to cassoulet.
配色簡約的房間將客人的注意力引向落地窗外部，從而充分感受與房間內截然不同的風景。超大尺寸的床和定製家具共同為客人帶來舒適的住宿環境。設計團隊還為酒店挑選了一些富有蒙特利爾特色的產品，包括Lambert & Fils的燈具、Frank & Oak的製服以及Oneka的純天然沐浴用品等。
A monochromatic palette sets a tone of simplicity in the guest suites – keeping attention on the floor-to-ceiling windows, which, in contrast to their effect of minimizing on the exterior, also enlarge the feeling of the rooms with expansive city views. The design team focused on providing guests with key comforts including king size beds and custom furnishings.The team curated an experience with some of Montreal’s nest brands to imbue a sense of local flavour, including lighting by Lambert & Fils; uniforms by Frank & Oak; and all-natural bath products by Oneka.
Monville酒店更為客人們提供了富有科技感的入住體驗，例如房間內裝有全加拿大首個自主入住係統，並配有能夠與個人設備同步的智能電視。客人們還可以在機器人的幫助下呼叫客房服務。Monville酒店融合了曆史性與現代性，兼顧了精致感與舒適感，使客人們充分感受到蒙特利爾獨特而時尚的城市氣息。
Hotel Monville will flaunt futuristic technologies too: Canada’s first self-check-in and smart televisions in the rooms that sync with personal devices and allow guests to order room service, which is delivered by a robot. Historic and contemporary, sophisticated and comfortable, and thoroughly local, Hotel Monville gives travelers a distinct taste of Montreal chic.
