Abstract

The conceptual design is rooted in an aesthetic inspired by the typical pitched roofs of Caribbean homes, preserving all their components, from beams and trusses to wooden shingles and rafters, right down to the tiles and skylights. Two spaces housing a bar and reception were crafted while maintain the weathered roof tile materials and greenery, as if they were part of an authentic Caribbean home where the passage of time has seamlessly integrated nature with architecture. Shutters are employed to functionally divide both side entrances, further emphasizing the symbolic language woven throughout the entire space. Furniture selection has been carefully curated to harmonize the hotel with its natural environment. The presence of fixtures inspired by local fauna and the marine ambiance, featured in both lighting and decor, heightens the feeling of connectivity with the surrounding nature.
