Our History
Our History
This wine railroad was also known in the area as "la Maquinilla", a name it took due to the small size of its first two locomotive-tenders, with two coupled axles. The locomotive of small dimensions and French origin, model Ténder No. 020-0201.
The design and renovation of the building have been carried out based on this historical moment of the wines and the city of Jerez.
The intention has always been that tourists come to connect with the history and culture of the city through design.
Already in our central courtyard, we can see the interpretation of the fusion, through a geometric play between the town of Jerez (cobblestones), the wine bourgeoisie (white marble) and the railroad tracks (black marble). As Jerez was one of the first electrified towns in Spain, we wanted to illuminate our patio with riveted lampposts at the bottom, as a nod to the railway and industrial architecture.
The railings of our patio simulate the movement of the two wheels and the blades of the locomotive, as we can see in the profile plan.
The gates recreate the position of half a boot on half a boot.
Once inside our apartments, the characteristic color of each of the wines they represent will color the wood and marble of the different furniture elements (kitchens, chairs, room dividers, washbasin furniture, bedside tables and bedroom closet).
At the same time, the design of our furniture gives shape to elements related to the world of wine and Jerez wineries:
