The design premise: a broad urban analysis and a deep study of its inhabitants, culture and customs. The architect’s conclusion was to discover the great activity, taste and devotion of the Vallisoletanos for community life through daily social coexistence in free, open spaces.

Conceptualized as a master plan, add to the city and the few existing public spaces (El Zócalo and the convent park), reinforce the popular activities of the locals around culture, art and gastronomy.

The hotel program only needed 30% of the land space of 3,800 m2, located on one of the main avenues; the architectural party located the building at the back of the property and an extension of the public area in front of it; Through a symmetrical layout, it generated a space with enjoyment for the guests and simultaneously, it gives the opportunity to carry out traditional activities of the people of the city and propose new uses of the public space. The request was a hotel, Waye, to which we added a public square, Peregrina.

One of the main challenges was convincing the client to offer part of his property considered “profitable” as a donation for public use, but by arguing the benefits to the community, which was integrated into the interior design, we achieved a new relationship with the city and its inhabitants.

The architecture of the hotel is a configuration of volumes with a clear reading, a square that contains the rooms connected to the gardens and the square; 20 rooms, all of them with a balcony or terrace and a program of amenities and services that include the administration, cafeteria, a multipurpose room, swimming pool and sun deck as part of the hotel, and two lateral sleeves in which a profitable commercial area is proposed and an outdoor forum on the public esplanade.

The treatment of the materials is simple: neutral colors, lattices, openings and solids that harmonically complete the composition on the outside and a magnificent play of light and shadows on the inside.
The materiality is consolidated with concrete, stones, natural colored textiles that identify the area, wood, patina and handcrafted pastes that detail floors and some walls.

The integration of passive ventilation strategies, solar capture, biodigesters and well water softening, makes this project an important optimization of natural resources that reduces energy consumption, plus the benefit of natural beauty by integrating local and traditional vegetation.
