The Ace Hotel brand is developed with the goal of creating places that feel simultaneously immersed in local culture, while also maintaining a global connection. A lot is guided by intuition and experimentation – foregoing formulas to create places for the community. Each property has its own soul and energy, while also evoking a universal ethos of empathy, creativity, curiosity, and of course, hospitality
Shim Sutcliffe worked closely with Atelier Ace to design Ace Hotel Toronto, from conception to the realization of interior spaces. Before starting to design, we visited several Ace properties to immerse ourselves in the Ace brand experience. These properties were exemplary models of adaptive reuse, breathing new life into the buildings and their surrounding neighborhoods. They were also hubs that help both travelers and locals to feel at home.
For the brand’s first Canadian property, we wanted the building to feel particularly Canadian. Like the other Ace properties around the world, we hoped to create a welcoming civic space where life happens and memories are made. We also wanted to build time into the building so that instead of expressing newness, the building would feel as though it had always been there — like a noteworthy industrial building — with new layers added over time to facilitate its conversion into a hotel. And we wanted it to be a destination for both Torontonians and visitors.
As architects, we are very deliberate about our materials, which we select to elicit intuitive and sensory experiences. We chose each element with the intention of orchestrating a harmony that echoes the city itself and developing an environment that offers a fresh perspective, a richness of experiences, and a sensual spirit.
We have always been interested in architecture and design of all scales and, therefore, our architecture includes custom furniture, lighting, hardware and fittings to ensure a fully integrated experience. We believe that well-conceived lighting has a critical role to play in ensuring rich and tactile experiences in the spaces we design.

前泰国银行改造：Khonkaen 国库博物馆前泰国银行东北地区办事处，建于现代，位于孔敬市中心，周围有学校、市场、社区和住宅区。该建筑有其独特的特点，瓦片状的屋顶和悬臂式的地板，网格模块在该建筑中得到了明显的体现。现有的建筑包括办公楼、员工宿舍和被拆除的钞票部门。在银行搬到新的地方后，这栋建筑打算转变其功能，为城市中的人们服务。改造后的建筑由博物馆建筑、画廊空间、多功能展馆、公共公园和办公室组成，可以支持人们的许多活动。该设计保留了现代的独特特征，同时调整了一些元素，使其符合新的功能。

只看楼主 我来说两句 抢板凳Ace酒店品牌的发展目标是创造出既能感受到当地文化，又能保持全球联系的地方。很多都是在直觉和实验的指导下进行的--放弃公式，为社区创造场所。每家酒店都有自己的灵魂和能量，同时也唤起了共鸣、创造力、好奇心，当然还有好客的普遍精神。
