Britomart酒店坐落于奥克兰，位于由9个历史街区组成的城市中心。Britomart酒店是新西兰首家也是唯一一家获得新西兰绿色建筑委员会认证的“绿色之星”酒店。

The Britomart Hotel is situated in Auckland, located in the heart of the city comprised of nine historical blocks. It is worth mentioning that the Hotel Britomart is New Zealand’s first and only 5 Green-Star hotel, certified by the NZ Green Building Council.

Britomart酒店共设十层，建筑立面采用手工制作的粘土砖，一排排光滑的玻璃窗点缀在富有肌理感的立面上，消解了庞大建筑体量带来的沉重感，使酒店看上去宛如漂浮在由鹅卵石小巷和码头仓库组成的城市挂毯之上。

As a building, The Hotel Britomart is a 10-storey object crafted from hand-made clay bricks, its rough surface punctuated by a constellation of sleekly glazed windows, its mass appearing to hover weightlessly over an urban tapestry of cobbled lanes and dockside warehouses.

Cheshire Architects的设计理念旨在创造一座属于当地居民的酒店，而不仅仅针对来此旅居的客人。致力于创造出一种深厚的工艺感，打破人们对于当代建筑风格的刻板印象，将建筑设计、室内设计以及历史遗产，无缝地融入到这座被授予了“绿色之星”头衔的酒店的生态系统中。

Cheshire Architects’ design response was to create a hotel that feels as if it belongs to Aotearoa and its people, not just the guests who stay there. We dedicated ourselves to creating a deep sense of craftmanship not typically associated with contemporary buildings of this scale. The aim was for the architecture, interiors, and heritage buildings to feel seamlessly integrated into a five Green-Star building ecosystem.

酒店大堂延续了街道的风貌，地面铺设着石材。大堂的许多元素借鉴了新西兰的工艺和本地植物，并且部分使用了可回收利用的材料。

The hotel lobby echoes the street outside, with stone paving lining the floors. Many of the lobby’s elements channel much of New Zealand’s craftsmanship and local plantations, with some elements being recycled.

接待台完全由喷砂橡木制成，桌子上还长出一棵富有生命力的Totara树，这是一种常见的新西兰树种。

The greeting desk is made entirely of sandblasted oak, with a live Totara tree — a common New Zealand tree — poking through the desk itself. 

“入住经典客房的体验如同住进了一位优雅的朋友的家，而酒店套房则像豪华新西兰小屋般温馨和舒适。”Cheshire Architects说道。

"The experience of staying in one of the typical hotel rooms is like staying at an elegant friend’s apartment, while the hotel suites emulate the warmth and comfort of a luxurious New Zealand lodge," said Cheshire Architects.

在这座由砖材砌筑的庞然大物中，容纳了99间风格经典客房，内部的设计目标是让人联想到冬季度假胜地的木质小屋，以木板覆盖的墙壁延伸出这种感觉。客房采用的三种不同色彩方案取决于它们相对太阳的朝向和拥有的自然光。

Within this colossal structure, crafted from bricks, there are 99 typical hotel rooms . The rooms feature one of three colour schemes that is dependent on their orientation to the sun and the amount of natural light they possess.

酒店的客房根据位置有不同的配色方案

与Lucas Design Associates合作设计的五套顶层套房则更为宽敞，私人屋顶露台成为室内空间的背景，为客人们提供了广阔的城市景观视野。

 The five penthouse suites which were designed in partnership with Lucas Design Associates are more expansive, with private rooftop terraces enjoying the cityscape as their backdrop.

Dajiang Tai是Cheshire Architects事务所的负责人，也是布里托马特酒店设计团队的领导者之一，他说最引以为傲的部分是打造富有层次的体验。在现代社会，仅仅建造一件好的建筑是不够的。酒店的每一个元素都经过精心挑选，以满足特定的标准，从具水龙头到耐用的织物。该建筑延伸到 Britomart 和周边城市的巷道和便利设施中，与周围这个超级复杂的城市街区交织在一起。

Dajiang Tai is a principal at Cheshire Architects, and one of the leaders of the team that designed The Hotel Britomart. He states that the part he takes the most pride in is creating intricate experiences.In modern society, it is not enough to simply build a good building. Every element of the hotel is carefully selected to meet specific standards, from faucets with appropriate water flow to durable fabrics. The architecture extends into the laneways and amenities of Britomart and the surrounding urban blocks, intertwining with the complexity of the surrounding cityscape. Tai Da Jiang pays attention to detail and strives to create unique and holistic designs that offer unforgettable experiences.
