曾構想出“牛頓紀念堂”的艾蒂安-路易·布雷認為，“為了建造，首先必須設想，正是思想的結果加之創作的過程，才構成了建筑?！?br>Etienne-LouisBoullée， who created a vision for a cenotaph honoring Sir Isaac Newton， wrote that “In order to execute， it is first necessary to conceive … It is this product of the mind， this process of creation， that constitutes architecture…”
布雷以巨型球狀的概念以及光線的運用，探索從自然中演變的建筑形式，極致的想象力成為對這位天文學巨匠最好的致敬。
Through the concept of a giant sphere and the use of light， Boullée explored a form of architecture derived from nature， and paid tribute to the great astronomer with his fabulous imagination.
先有設想，再有設計Conceive first， then design

木衛一是浩渺宇宙中最靠近木星的一顆衛星，以眾神之王宙斯的戀人IO命名。它也是太陽系中地質活動最活躍的天體，擁有多達400座活火山。
The project is a theme hotel located in Zhanjiang， Guangdong， China， which was created by ETERNO DESIGN， a local design firm. The hotel is named after IO (Jupiter I)， which is the innermost of the four Galilean moons of the planet Jupiter. With over 400 active volcanoes， IO is the most geologically active object in the Solar System.
未知，多變，充滿不確定性，這些特質恰恰符合元創社對本案的設計初想：拒絕被歸類，以一個矛盾而多元的自由體，為城市酒店業態載入更多可能。
The moon of IO is full of unknowns， changes and uncertainties. Those properties coincide with the designers‘ initial conception of the hotel. They refused to restrict the interior design to a certain style， but combined contrasting yet diverse design elements to bring more possibilities to urban hotels.
去風格的場景定制Bespoke scenes that are not restricted to a certain style

I·O木衛壹所在城市廣東湛江，位于中國大陸南端，擁有無與倫比的海岸線和天文潮汐景觀。項目在市中心一棟商業建筑的頂樓，獨享登高眺遠且鬧中取靜的場地優勢。原建筑的斜頂結構被保留，借助玻璃天花增強采光效果，沖孔鋁板緩和光照并制造光與影的變幻。
Zhanjiang， where the project is located， is a city in the southern part of China mainland， which boasts unparalleled coastline and spectacular view of tides. Situated on the top floor of a commercial building in the downtown area， the hotel offers a panoramic view of the outdoor landscape and a tranquil environment. In the lobby， the designers retained the original oblique interior roof structure， and added glass ceiling to enhance natural daylighting， and at the same time utilized perforated aluminum sheets to soften the light and produce interplay of light and shadows.

材質選擇上，水磨石與深色超薄石材，混搭原木與皮革飾面，帶來剛柔并濟的肌理層次。
The interior is characterized by a diversified material palette consisting of terrazzo， deep-colored ultrathin stone materials， timber， and leather coverings， etc.， which fuses softness and solidness and enriches textures of the space.

穿插的界面關系模糊了空間秩序，引導訪客在開放式的大堂公區展開多維度互動，疏離戒備的人際常態被消解，契合共享與平等的當代都市精神。
The interpenetration of different surfaces blurs the spatial order， and guides the guests to have multi-dimensional interaction in the open lobby. In this way， it brings people closer to each other， which fits into the contemporary urban spirit of sharing and equality.
?
調色板式的色彩點綴和趣味感的藝術裝置，在適度的燈光暈染下，更凸顯靈動而柔性的氛圍。
In addition， the varied hues interspersed throughout the space， together with playful art installations， inject vividness into the interior under the soft light.

空間三十六變Diverse guest rooms
總面積達2500平方米的場域內，共分布有36間與眾不同的客房。元創社延續了大堂設計中的定制思維，依循客房區各自的結構條件進行差異化構思。雙倍層高區域設置有Loft房，提供鬧市中難得的復式體驗。
Occupying a total area of 2，500 sqm， the hotel has 36 distinctive guest rooms. The designers continued the bespoke design idea of the lobby， whilst conceiving each room in a differentiated way based on their respective interior structures. Loft guest rooms were set in the double-height area， providing the guests with unique experiences.

建筑墻體在圍合之中開出一方天窗，自然光與人工光源相匯，令空間的通透感加倍。墻體與定制家具模塊在凹折交錯中微妙對話，推動著異時空的場景切換實驗。
Each guest room features a skylight， which enables the interweaving of natural and artificial light and enhances transparency of the space as well. Walls and customized furniture modules show subtle interaction in a folding and interlacing way， which facilitates the shift of scenes.

樓梯串聯起立體疊加的視覺構圖，讓上下之間的漫行過程充滿諧趣和生機。這些階梯亦是懸空的裝置，藝術而有效地成為生活的有形載體。
The staircases strengthen the three-dimensional visual impression of the space， and make the experience of going up and down more interesting. Moreover， they also function as suspended art installations， which become artistic carriers of life.
??
斜頂房的設計同樣極具挑戰，不規則的屋頂系統經策略巧思反而成為亮點，拉直的斜角將天光引入，將簡約的形態與豐富的細節全然呈現。
It was very challenging to approach the rooms with a sloped roof structure. The design team turned an oblique angle between the interior roof and the wall into 90 degree， and added a skylight to introduce daylight. In this way， the re-imagined ceiling was endowed with both a simplistic form and rich details， and was made a highlight in the space.
??
每一間客房自成一個單元體系，同時組合為多元的整體體驗，如同無數自轉的星體構成整個星際。
Each guest room is an independent unit， and also an integral part of a whole system that provides diverse experiences， just like numerous rotating objects constitute the Solar System.
??
I·O木衛壹與不遠處的喜來登相對而立，以一種截然不同的存在方式，擁抱那一道相同的海灣天際線。
Erecting opposite the Sheraton not far away， I·O HOTEL embraces the coastline in its unique way.
??
元創社用光影、結構和色彩，為場景注入想象，觸動每一個感知的細胞，并終將由住客去續寫未知的空間故事。
By skillfully making use of light and shadows， structures and colors， the design team injected imagination into spatial scenes， which will attract the guests to experience and explore the unknown.
