Atrio Relais Châteaux Hotel and Restaurant in Cáceres, Spain by Emilio Tuñón ArchitectsFebruary 23rd, 2017 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Emilio Tuñón Architects The new Atrio Relais-Châteaux, located at San Mateo Square in Caceres, tries to think the city departing from the principles that made it possible in the first place. It tries to imagine how such thing can be carried out in our time, enabling contemporary architecture to stand side by side the historic core, with respect and dignity.
Inside the medieval precinct of the city of Caceres, the compound on which the new building has been erected was formed by to volumes deeply degraded after years of neglect. The new construction fits into these buildings like a hermit crab inside an empty seashell. Thus, the new use re-vitalizes and re-habilitates the life-less constructions establishing an organic symbiosis and acquiring a new meaning of contemporaneity. Contact Emilio Tuñón Architects
