Bos-Cos 在西班牙古城塞維亞開設了首家旅店，希望能重新定義當地的旅游住宿型態。塞維亞作為西班牙沿岸最古老的城市，具有地中海獨特的暖色調陽光，緊鄰港口使一年四季都是溫暖濕潤的宜人氣候。全年日照和煦，氣候宜人。這裡的陽光充足，是所有歐洲人心中的避寒度假勝地。

Bos-Cos has opened its first inn in the ancient city of Seville, Spain, with the aim of redefining the local tourism accommodation style. Seville, as the oldest city on the Spanish coast, is bathed in the unique warm tones of Mediterranean sunlight. Its proximity to the port ensures a warm and humid climate that is pleasant throughout the year. The city enjoys generous sunshine and a delightful climate all year round, making it a coveted winter retreat destination in the hearts of Europeans.

深受伊斯蘭文化影響的塞維亞，這裡的家家戶戶也承襲了中庭作為生活起居重心的傳統。設計團隊將一座傳統的賽維亞中庭式別墅，分割成四個獨立的公寓單元，使每戶都能享有露台或陽台，當中有三戶更擁有獨立的泳池。設計團隊盡可能保留大部分建築物，只拆除改建房屋新增的一側，同時也藉此重新將朝向城市道路的建築立面，還原為賽維亞典型的大地色系傳統樣式。

Heavily influenced by Islamic culture, Seville is a city where each household traditionally revolves around a central courtyard. The design team transformed a traditional Sevillian courtyard villa into four separate apartment units, aiming to provide each with its own private terrace, with three of the units even having their own private pool. The team endeavored to preserve most of the original structure, demolishing and renovating only a modern addition to the house. This also allowed them to restore the building's façade facing the city street to Seville's typical earth-toned traditional style.

當旅人穿過熙攘的古城，鑽進狹窄的巷弄，轉身推開城市中常見的銅鈕大門後，從幽深的走廊踏入中庭時，映入眼簾的是自由攀蔓藤類植物與繽紛色彩點綴的庭院。新舊建物都有一樣比例的門窗開口，透過中庭，恰如其分的和諧共處。從面向中庭的開口一路延伸進室內，每個室內空間的門窗、牆體開口幾乎盡量安排朝向中庭的門窗。無論身處何處，皆能一眼瞥見中庭環境的每個角落，與地中海的陽光相伴。

As visitors wander through the bustling ancient city and delve into narrow alleys, turning to push open the commonly seen brass-knobbed doors of the city, they step from the dim corridors into the courtyard, greeted by a vista filled with green plants, the gentle sound of flowing water, and a courtyard adorned with vibrant colors. Both new and old buildings share a similar proportion of doors and windows opening onto the courtyard, existing in perfect harmony. From the openings facing the courtyard, this alignment extends into the interior, with almost all indoor spaces, doors, windows, and wall openings oriented towards the courtyard's doors and windows. No matter where one is, a glimpse of the courtyard is always in sight. Every corner of life here is accompanied by the Mediterranean sunlight.

面向中庭乾淨利落的開口、幾乎沒有厚度的門框窗框，加上對半切分的窗和門板，窗洞的大小能因應私密或開放的需求調整。旅人可以打開上緣窗板，闔上下緣門板，自在的躺上柔軟的床鋪，看看蔚藍的天空，耳邊傳來中庭的水聲，感受柔軟的海風輕撫臉龐，度過溫暖而宜人的午後時光。空間質感取樣自當地傳統的建築材料，所有牆面與鋪面，都選擇沉穩的大地色系和帶點粗糙觸感的材質，同時新增的現代化設施，包含空調風管、扶手，都採用明快活潑的色彩，以當代的風格，致敬當地傳統建築多彩的室內裝飾，為整個空間增添了獨屬地中海民族的活力。

The openings facing the courtyard are clean and neat, with door and window frames that are almost without thickness, and the window/door panels are split in half. The size of the window openings can be adjusted to accommodate the need for privacy or openness. Travelers can open the top part of the window panel and close the bottom door panel, comfortably lying on the soft bedding, gazing at the blue sky, with the sound of the courtyard's water and the gentle touch of the soft sea breeze on their faces, enjoying a warm and pleasant afternoon. The space's texture is inspired by traditional local building materials. All walls and pavings are chosen in subdued earth tones with a slightly rough texture. Meanwhile, the newly added modern facilities, including air conditioning ducts and handrails, are in bright and lively colors. This contemporary style pays homage to the colorful interior decorations of local traditional architecture, adding a unique vitality characteristic of Mediterranean culture to the entire space.
