多伦多Ace酒店位于该市历史悠久的服装区，20世纪初，这里被创新和工业点燃，曾经是一个制造业中心，后来发展成为一个有影响力的艺术中心。酒店位于皇后西街、市中心和唐人街等社区的连接处，步行即可到达著名的音乐场馆、画廊、酒吧和餐厅，酒店加入了一个长期以来由许多独立思考、以社区为中心的机构所界定的区域，这些机构构成了这座城市的文化支柱。

Ace Hotel Toronto stands in the city’s historic Garment District, a neighbourhood ignited by innovation and industry at the start of the 20th century, once a manufacturing centre that grew into an influential artistic hub. At a nexus of neighbourhoods including Queen West, Downtown and Chinatown, and within walking distance of famed music venues, galleries, bars and restaurants, the hotel joins an area long defined by many of the independently minded and community-focused institutions that form the city’s cultural backbone.

虽然是一座新建筑，但多伦多Ace酒店的坚固的建筑设计传达了永恒，在周围环境中毫不费力的感觉。Shim-Sutcliffe Architects的作品充满了谦虚、诚实和对地方的欣赏，如工作室著名的Integral House所代表的那样，唤起了一种特别的加拿大精神和感觉。

Although a new building, the robust, solid architecture of Ace Hotel Toronto was designed to convey timelessness, and feels effortlessly at home amongst its surroundings. Shim-Sutcliffe Architects’ work — imbued with modesty, honesty, and an appreciation of place, as exemplified by the studio’s famed Integral House —evokes a particularly Canadian spirit and feeling.

“长期以来，多伦多一直是全球领先的城市建设和设计的前瞻性方法，多伦多是一个拥抱创意的城市，根植于创建Ace的开放理念。我们非常自豪地开设了多伦多Ace酒店——Shim-Sutcliffe Architects事务所的建筑辉煌创造了一个真正的奇迹。他们构建了一个固有的公民空间，既尊重社区的传奇历史，又培育其未来。同样，大厨Patrick Kriss与我们的团队合作，在Alder创造了一些特殊的东西，一个诚实地尊重季节和质量的餐厅。带着对远近朋友的感谢之情，我们欢迎所有人最终填补这一非凡的空间。”

- Brad Wilson, Atelier Ace / Ace酒店集团首席执行官

“Long a leading global light for its forward-thinking approach to city-making and design, Toronto is a city that embraces originality and is rooted in the same open-to-all philosophy that founded Ace. We could not be more proud to open Ace Hotel Toronto — the architectural magnificence of Shim-Sutcliffe Architects’ work has created a bona fide wonder. They have built an inherently civic space that respects the neighbourhood’s storied past while nurturing its future. Likewise, Chef Patrick Kriss has worked in tandem with our team to create something exceptional at Alder, a restaurant with an honest reverence of seasons and quality. It is with great gratitude to the gifts of friends near and far that we welcome all to finally fill this remarkable space.”

建筑的红砖立面让人想起唐谷黏土砖在形成城市视觉特征中发挥的重要作用，进入大堂的客人可以瞥见地平线，这是一个三层的特定场地艺术装置，抽象地代表安大略湖闪闪发光的水域，由A . Howard Sutcliffe设计。

The building’s red brick facade recalls the important role bricks pressed from Don Valley clay played in forming the city’s visual identity, and guests entering the lobby catch a glimpse of Horizon Line, a three-story site-specific art installation abstractly representing Lake Ontario’s glittering waters, designed by A. Howard Sutcliffe.

从半地下的餐厅到上面的楼层，一系列有节奏的高耸的、就地浇筑的混凝土结构拱门上升。大堂覆盖着红橡木衬里，灵感来自于一个木制托盘，由这些巨大的支撑上的细长钢条悬挂，为客人提供了令人印象深刻的空间内各种各样的观点和尺度。阳光斑驳的座位区充满了复古和定制的Atelier Ace家具，并俯瞰附近的绿色空间圣安德鲁的游乐场公园，大堂是丰富的纹理和温暖，提供生活发生的空间。

A rhythmic series of soaring, poured-in-place, concrete structural arches rise from the semi-subterranean restaurant to a level above. The Lobby, clad in red oak lining and inspired in form by a wooden tray, is suspended by slender steel rods from these massive supports and offers guests a variety of viewpoints and scales within the impressive space. With a sun-dappled seating area replete with vintage and custom Atelier Ace furnishings, and views overlooking the neighbourhood green space St. Andrew’s Playground Park, The Lobby is rich with texture and warmth, offering space for life to take place.

在它的中心，Ace Toronto是一个市民空间，用于聚集和交换语言、亲密关系和聪明的想法。酒店内部由Atelier Ace设计，融合了粗糙的纹理和光滑的舒适，从这座城市的制造业和纺织业遗产，以及安大略省茂密的森林和蜿蜒的河道景观中汲取灵感。Ace Toronto最初的艺术项目包括近40位艺术家的作品，他们中的大多数都与这座城市有着共同的联系。这些影响深远的作品丰富了酒店的公共空间和私人空间，散发出人性的光芒。

At its heart, Ace Toronto is a civic space built for gathering and trading in words, intimacies and bright ideas. A meeting of rough-hewn textures and sleek comforts, the hotel’s interiors, designed by Atelier Ace, take their cues from the city’s legacy of manufacturing and textiles as well as Ontario’s landscape of dense forests and looping riverways. Ace Toronto’s original art program features pieces by nearly 40 artists, the majority of whom share ties to the city. The far-reaching works enrich the hotel’s public and private spaces and glow of humanity.

客房套房被认为是宁静的城市小屋，道格拉斯冷杉镶板，铜质装饰，定制的Shim- Sutcliffe照明和边桌，以及嵌入结构的深嵌窗长椅，提供与城市的季节变化和光线的连接。考虑到材料、建造时间、巨大的规模变化和对地点的敏感性，多伦多Ace酒店融合在一起，为城市带来一个面向未来的结构和前所未有的创意中心。

Guest suites are conceived as restful urban cabins, with Douglas fir panelling, copper accents, custom Shim- Sutcliffe lighting and side tables, and deep-set window benches built into the structure offering connection to the city’s shifting seasons and light. Considered material, constructed time, tremendous shifts of scale and sensitivity to place coalesce at Ace Hotel Toronto, bringing a future-facing structure and unprecedented creative centre to the city.
