UXUA casa hotel – a dream come true

Monday 7 June 2010

I have found the perfect place for my next holidays in Brazil. The UXUA casa hotel is located in the fishing village of Trancoso, in the Souther Bahia in Brazil. It is run by dutch fashion designer Wilbert Das, who after visiting the area on holidays fall in love with the little village and surroundings and decided to stay for ever, and built this amazing paradise. The hotel is made up of three old fishermen's huts that where in the property that they restored and used for inspiration for the others. The photos 
bellow are from his house, simple constructions and white washed interiors with natural materials. I would love to build a little house like this back home, perhaps one day...
Encontré el lugar perfecto para mis próximas vacaciones en Brasil, éste hotelito, UXUA casa, en Troncoso, al sur de Bahía, fue construido por el diseñador Holandes. Wilbert Das, quin después de pasar unas vacaciones decidió que era el lugar perfecto para quedarse a vivir, y construyó este magnífico hotel, siguiendo las construcciones sencillas de las casas de los pescadores. Realmente un paraiso, algo así me gustaría tener en Gran Canaria, una casita blanca, sencilla, y rodeada de naturaleza, quizás algun día...

  2. sorry to hear that you didn't get into Origin. it will be our first time there and we're not sure what to expect really. we have a few friends that have done it before but you never can tell how a show is going to go for you.
    we have never been to Pulse so can't really comment on the show - we are doing The Contemporary Craft Fair in Devon this weekend, so we'll ask about and see if anyone has done Pulse and let you know.
