NINE DOTS is, therefore, a name linked to the number of islands in the Azores, but not only that. The allusion to "dots" also reflects the essence and connection to art, in particular to pointillism, a painting technique, born from expressionism, which uses dots to portray landscapes, environments, people and situations. --- --- NINE DOTS is born from two independent buildings with distinct characteristics - the first with a manorial origin, more generous and rich in terms of heritage, and the second more modest, with a more domestic character. The urban configuration of Rua dos Mercadores and part of the built elements date back to the 15th and 16th centuries, however, the existing building complex resulted from several interventions, the most significant of which occurred in the 18th and 19th centuries, in one of the moments of great transformation of the city. city and society of São Paulo. The adaptation of the buildings to hotels used different approaches, preservation and restoration of the most significant elements, relocation and reuse of parts, raw materials and plant elements. When necessary, the introduction of new materials and elements respected pre-existing materials. --- ![Nine Dots São Miguel Azores](https://static.guestcentric.net/bin/70649dd7a833dd56/nine-dots-boutique-hotel-imageLinkcomposicao-elementos-recuperados-v2-1.webp) **RECOVERY AND PRESERVATION OF ELEMENTS** In the resulting architecture, striking elements of Azorean architecture present in the original buildings are preserved, combined with other elements inspired by the particularities of the islands. --- #### Colors and Textures that bring NINE DOTS to life We are inspired by tones and textures that define the Azorean landscape The hotel's decoration was designed based on a chromatic exploration, prepared by the Architecture team, of the different colors and textures that have marked the most diverse arts, industries and crops in the Azores since the 15th century. Every detail was thought out in detail, to provide comfort to every space in the hotel. --- #### LINEN Part of the textile industry between the 16th century and the 1930s ![Nine Dots Azores Cores e Texturas](https://static.guestcentric.net/bin/70649dd7a833dd56/nine-dots-boutique-hotel-imageLinkamarelo.webp) #### YELLOW Wheat and Corn Crops ![Nine Dots Azores Cores e Texturas](https://static.guestcentric.net/bin/70649dd7a833dd56/nine-dots-boutique-hotel-imageLinkverde.webp) #### GREEN Vineyards, in Fava and Beans, in Tea plantations, and other crops #### BLUE Pastel plant, used in dyeing since ancient times ![Nine Dots Azores Cores e Texturas](https://static.guestcentric.net/bin/70649dd7a833dd56/nine-dots-boutique-hotel-imageLinkpurpura.webp) #### PURPLE Inspired by Urzela, harvested from this population on all the islands ![Nine Dots Azores Cores e Texturas](https://static.guestcentric.net/bin/70649dd7a833dd56/nine-dots-boutique-hotel-imageLinkvermelho.webp) #### RED Dragoeiro, a prehistoric tree, and Almagre, a land of reddish clay on the island of Santa Maria ![Nine Dots Azores Cores e Texturas](https://static.guestcentric.net/bin/70649dd7a833dd56/nine-dots-boutique-hotel-imageLinkmadeira.webp) #### WOOD Forest areas of the Azores ![Nine Dots Azores Cores e Texturas](https://static.guestcentric.net/bin/70649dd7a833dd56/nine-dots-boutique-hotel-imageLinkrochas-vulcanicas.webp) #### VOLCANIC ROCKS Basalts, ignimbrites and trachytes, present throughout the Azorean natural landscape --- ##### Architecture Team knn architects DRAF Architects ##### Construction MARQUES SA, Marques Group ##### Decoration Project Karolinne Alves, Daniel Rego, Ana Fernandes, Tiago Farinha and Maria Inês da Costa ##### Landscaping Topiaris - Landscape Architecture Studies and Projects Lda. ##### Oversight Eng.
