Hotel La Semilla Architecture K 01 X2

Architecture Angie Rodriguez & Alexis Schärer, Jaime Ingelmo

Mirroring the white geometric buildings dotting the shoreline, the hotel’s building has been minimally refurbished.

In collaboration with architect Jaime Ingelmo, the original building retains local flavor, while the wooden shutters on the windows are a nod to co-owner Alexis Schärer’s stint in Switzerland. Local materials such as stone, polished concrete, and bricks were used to create the hotel’s simple, earthy vibe. Suites, such as the Terraza, even have outdoor baths for the ultimate laidback lifestyle.

Interior design Angie Rodriguez & Alexis Schärer, Andres Ocejo

Owners Alexis Schärer and Angie Rodriguez are inspired by the different parts of the world they have called home.

The result is an elegant mix of furniture and references—the concrete floor harkens back to Greece; antique handmade mosaic tiles recall those of the Yucatan region; and an industrial loft atmosphere is akin to what one might find in New York. White pervades all spaces with its quality of timelessness. In the Suite Terraza, gilded frames and chandeliers are an ode to the elegance of Saint Barts.

“Rough luxe embraces the passing of time. It’s authentic, reversing the past from the youthful perspective of the present.”
