CASA ZINC – RECLAIMED HOTEL DESIGN

February 12, 2015
  • Share

Vacation.  Wouldn’t that be nice?  I took a little holiday up in northern California in wine country with TE around the New Year…and now I am already longing for another holiday!  Musing…what about some place I have never been before…some place in South America?

Well I happened upon these images of a hotel made of found objects!  What in the world?  Yes…this wonderful little boutique hotel named Casa Zinc near Punta del Este in Uruguay is a charming enclave constructed from recovered items.  Out of the imagination of owner Aaron Hojman who traveled Uruguay and surrounding countries looking to reclaim pieces of architecture to build a compound.  He found items like metal sheeting from barns, fragments of pharmacies, abandoned warehouse pieces, architectural detail from old hotels and even found some items in a railway station.  All of this collecting for 30 years make up Casa Zinc.

Hmmm…a visit to the Uruguayan Riviera perhaps?  Maybe…!

Where might you want to take a trip?
Happy Thursday!

Everyday luxury isn’t saved for special occasions. Everyday luxury isn’t saved for special occasions. It’s a porch swing at golden hour, sunlight across a marble floor, a dining room you’d actually want to linger in.
A look inside a home that’s elevated without ever feeling off-limits: brass-detailed kitchen, a glass-walled lounge, and a lacquered dining room with a wine wall.

Drapes or no drapes? 👀 One room, two very differe Drapes or no drapes? 👀
One room, two very different feelings.
Without the drapes, the space feels bright, open, and minimal. Add the drapes, and suddenly there’s more softness, warmth, and texture.
This was one of the details we loved playing with in the COCOCOZY Design House. Sometimes a simple window treatment can completely change the feeling of a room.
Which would you choose for this space: WITH DRAPES or WITHOUT? Tell us below. 🤍
Paint gets all the credit. Wallpaper does the actu Paint gets all the credit. Wallpaper does the actual work.
Delicate florals in a powder room, a full-envelope ikat entry, a moody botanical pantry, a pattern bold enough to wear the whole room — six spaces, zero fear of commitment.
Which one would you live with every day? Drop your answer 👇
