In Transit Blog: On Tiny Fogo Island, a Hotel Puts a Focus on Design

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 27 Agustus 2013 | 17.35

Fogo Island, a windswept fleck of land off the northeast coast of Newfoundland, has in the last several years been the site of an exciting project in economic renewal and avant-garde architecture.

Disused saltbox houses that once belonged to fishermen have been transformed into a colony of artists' residences. There are now new restaurants, an ambitious art gallery curated by Nicolaus Schafhausen, a cinema and a number of initiatives designed to support local industry and ecology.

A cornerstone of the revitalization project is the newly opened Fogo Island Inn, a high-design hotel on stilts that was built, like many of the new buildings on Fogo, by the Canadian architect Todd Saunders.

The 27 suites, furnished by local craftspeople, all have wood-burning fireplaces and floor-to-ceiling views of the North Atlantic. The menu at the hotel's fine-dining restaurant changes often, in tune with the island's unusual "seven seasons." On the rooftop is a collection of Finnish saunas and hot tubs, designed with stargazing in mind. Nightly room rates start at $550 during low season.
