The "before" of photo 2. From 2012 design – a more rigid vibe

With an affinity to utilizing framed day beds as sofas, Vicente incorporates two into his redesign. This daybed is a 19th century antique from Borneo along with other pieces from his remote travels like the African Ashanti stool beside the club chair covered in a textured leather from Edelman and the rattan chair in the foreground, also from Africa. The stone on the floor is actually a wool ottoman from South Africa.

Originally dating to the 1970s, Hotel Carlota was revamped by JSa Arquitectura and completed in 2015. As part of the renovation, a pool became the focal point of the courtyard, and its modernized, streamlined design makes a dramatic statement.

The use of the two types of concrete continues throughout the project, both on the interior and the exterior spaces.
