西班牙Travesía 4展廊的新展览空间位于墨西哥城一栋19世纪的新殖民风格建筑中。建筑师对墨西哥殖民建筑的材料元素（如Tezontle火山岩与混凝土）进行分析，以现代方式重新诠释这些材料，通过与元素的不断进行对话，强调建筑作为当代艺术画廊的特征。纵向入口通道通过建筑上方保留下来的门上的照明系统，实现间接照明。走廊红色火山石地面与白色混凝土墙面形成精妙的对比。

The new space of the Spanish gallery Travesía 4 in Mexico City, materialized within a 19th Century neocolonial building.We analyzed material elements of Mexican colonial architecture, such as Tezontle and concrete, reinterpreting them in a contemporary way, in a constant dialogue with the elements that help emphasise the house’s character as a contemporary art gallery. The longitudinal access is illuminated indirectly through a lighting system located in the upper part of the original doors of the house. The corridors of red volcanic stone contrast with the subtlety of white concrete walls.

展览空间从一层开始，完全使用白色调，维持原有的墙面造型。这一区域低矮的高度形成更具亲密感的入口，木质lambrin结构部分嵌入墙体之中，设计实现更加纯粹的几何形态和不刻意为之的空间和谐氛围。

The exhibition area begins on the first floor, completely white, rescuing the original mouldings of the walls. The low height of these first areas translates into a more intimate access with a wooden lambrin partially submerged into the wall, therefore achieving purer geometric shapes and an almost accidental spatial harmony.

建筑二层的室内高度保持不变，原有木地板得到复原，与使用天然剑麻地板的起居空间形成对比。浴室材料也与从地板延伸到天花板的水泥饰面、经典的陶瓷装饰和当地木材制作的家具形成对比。家具是由一组拉丁美洲现代设计师经过大量研究后设计的，来自墨西哥的Michael Van Buren设计了包豪斯风格的桌椅，沙发的设计者是Eugenio Escuedero。

On the second floor, the house’s original floor to ceiling height is kept and the original wooden floors restored, achieving a contrast with the living area where we used natural sisal flooring. The bathroom also plays with material contrasts with a cement finishing from floor to ceiling, classic ceramic accessories and furniture made from local woods. The furniture of the house is the result of an extensive research by a group of Latinamerican modernist designers. The office presents Bauhouse-style tables and chairs designed by the Mexican Michael Van Buren and a sofa by Eugenio Escuedero.
