FORT YOUNG HOTEL
ROSEAU, DOMINICA
ROOM UPGRADES
Fort Young Hotel, built around a citadel originally meant to protect the island, holds onto its history through architectural forms and materials which command a sense of place. Along one façade, the hotel faces downtown; its opposite side runs parallel to the oceanfront.The site’s rich history, its breathtaking ocean and mountain views, along with Dominica’s impressive volcanic rock and pebbled beaches, inspired our design concept for theguest rooms.By using these indigenous elements, we created a unique sense of place for guests who will, no doubt, have a memorable experience!
SEA BREEZE BEACH HOUSE
MAXWELL, BARBADOS
RENOVATION AND NEW BUILD
Located along a picturesque beachfront property on the south coast of Barbados, Sea Breeze Beach House comprises 122 guest rooms, five restaurants, three pools, a gym, a conference centre, and several more intimate spaces for hosting private events.This project was part renovation, part new build. Because we believe in cohesive design, where each area works harmoniously with the other, we wanted to create a seamless transition throughout the property. The rooms, restaurants, lounge areas and walkways all express the same key aspects, without losing any of their intimacy or individuality.Far from a generically Caribbean experience, the new design builds upon the theme of tropical modern, inspired by traditional Barbadian culture. Thanks to a neutral base palette and clean lines that exude charm through the introduction of colour, the rooms feel like a tropical chic beach house. We used four main colour schemes in the rooms’ accents, accessories and artwork.All the art we chose is local and plays an integral role in the design of the space; we tried as much as possible to use local artisans, labour and materials, and even repurposed a few mahogany trees that the new building displaced. In good design, nothing goes to waste!
KAPOK HOTEL
PORT OF SPAIN,TRINIDAD
FACADE UPGRADE
Kapok is a well established facility in the Tourism Industry of Trinidad and Tobago. We had the opportunity to work alongside OBMI Trinidad in updating this iconic brand. We proposed a façade redesign intending to be a new aesthetic whilst maintaining a visual memory of the existing. Our inspiration was drawn from the Kapok tree itself. In this age of environmental awareness the incorporation of materials that are not only environmentally friendly but also support the efficiency of the facility’s systems itself are vastly important. The proposed materials and patterns not only lends to a more warm feeling in keeping with the Kapok characteristics but the colours and patterns nod to the traditional hotel branding whilst the clean lines give a modern approach updating the brand whist routed in its core foundations.
WINDJAMMER LANDING
ST. LUCIA
REBRANDING
The Windjammer Landing hotel is a luxury beachside resort that recently underwent an exciting rebrand. Our team was responsible for the redesign of their restaurants and numerous villas, as well as the lobby, which serves as the heart of the resort. To maintain brand consistency, we incorporated the hotel's signature navy and white colors throughout the design.
Furthermore, the lobby was transformed into a welcoming space, reflecting the hotel's elegant aesthetic.
The new furnishings are all inspired by the Caribbean elements around us. The finishes are muted natural tones with coastal textures of rattan, rope, cane & bamboo. The palette is of sun warmed hues set against a new travertine floor. The ceiling beams become white with oversized chandeliers. We introduced pops of Aegean blue echoing the Windjammer brand colours into one cohesive design.
