"Godefroy interweaves aesthetics and functionality, emphasizing the honesty of the textures of the raw materials, such as concrete, steel, clay and wood," said the hotel. The interiors are softened by custom furniture and designed by local craftspeople, colourful rugs and tapestries, and an abundance of potted plants. Casa To's walls are pierced with large, circular openings "The natural surroundings of Casa TO defined the interior design, inspired by the natural pattern of a Madagascar Blue Bismarck palm tree (Bismarckia Nobilis) standing on the original site," the hotel explained.
The material was also used for built-in furniture, such as benches, shelving, vanities and even the guest beds. Raw concrete was used throughout the hotel and left as an exposed finish in guest rooms and public areas. Raw concrete was used throughout the exterior and interior "The interior views create an oasis enclosed by the sky, the weight of the walls, and the vegetation of climbing plants and fruit trees including bananas and passion fruit," it added. Transversal walls pierced with large, circular openings cut through the pool and break up the space into smaller areas that give guests more privacy. A pool runs along the entire length of the building It is flanked by stepped seating, which brings guests from their suites down to the water or up to a rooftop to enjoy views of the surrounding jungle.Īccording to the hotel, "the structure evokes the reticulated pattern of two historical hydraulic works of timeless beauty" citing 6th-century AD Yerebatan Sarayi of Istanbul and Hornsey Wood Reservoir in London as inspirations. This space's walls, floors and ceilings are made of cast-in-place concrete, lending it a cavernous quality. The centre of the space is occupied by a pool that runs the length of the property. The architect wanted to merge the hotel with the outdoorsĪll the rooms were laid out on one side of the property and given multiple exposures in order to create cross-breezes to help cool the interiors.
