Le Petit Hotel Caju

The concept for the Le Petit Hotel Caju reflects the architectural and constructive versatility of the existing building, as well as the proximity to an entire physical context that brings genuine and differentiating elements to the project.

The grand exterior façade that contains a completely free space, with only exposed concrete slabs and imposing existing stone walls, is the basis that materializes the entire creative process. Here, it became evident the need to keep exposed, whenever possible, these elements that give the space a unique identity and that transform it into a minimalist, urban but also very welcoming environment.

At the main entrance and reception area, taking advantage of the large opening that opens onto Rua da Carreira, a sculptural piece with an exclusive design visible from the street has been designed and works as an element of attraction inviting the entrance to the building, where another special piece awaits us with the dual function of reception and hotel bar / restaurant. The restaurant, by itself, is an open space with an "open kitchen". The existing stone walls were maintained where vertical gardens and modules with shelves for the display of decorative pieces or traditional products appear.

On the lower floor, we created an informal space, with a lounge area where the furniture is laid out freely but intentionally, giving way to a dynamic, uncluttered, but very comfortable and welcoming environment. The upper floors of the Hotel, where the rooms are located, suggest a marked contrast between materials such as concrete and stone and those that provide the desired comfort such as wood and textiles.
