The IN LIMA Hotel &
SPA is located at the entrance of the village of Ponte de Lima, Portugal's
oldest town, characterized by its medieval architecture, its Roman bridge and
the natural surroundings overlooking the Lima river.
Connected to one of the
town's public gardens, that becomes once a week a marketplace, the hotel
benefits from the rooms' terraces and the reception and restoration areas of a
magnificent panoramic view over the Lima river and its Roman bridge as well as
of the wide avenue of plane trees that shades the architectonic ensemble of the
convent of Santo António.
The building is
materialized by a white concrete volume, closed on the west and open on the
east, balanced on a wedge of copper and glass, placed on a monolithic stone
base of Ponte de Lima's yellow granite. This is intended to establish with the
convent and the chapel of Senhora da Guia, a trilogy that frames the garden
spaces. The position of the main white concrete body, perpendicular to the
street, and the overhang that houses the hotel entrance, allowed to create
views of the architectural ensemble of the convent and finish the residential
and commercial building whose extension was brutally interrupted.
Kept below the sidewalk
and lower garden level, the basement includes the technical and service areas,
a conference room, 10 rooms and a spa.
The ground floor is
dematerialized by a large glass that shelters the reception, the restaurant and
the terrace areas, while the white concrete volume contains the remaining rooms
and suites with terraces.
This time, the complicated
configuration of the terrain assigned to the hotel construction and the lack of
continuity between the built elements, which constitute the entrance to Ponte
de Lima, led to the design of a volume/autonomous object, whose function is to
improve relations between the buildings and establish new dynamics able to
provide the area with a little more urbanity.
