Fogo Island Inn
Boutique Hotel / Fogo Island, Canada
Designed by Newfoundland-born architect Todd Saunders, the Fogo Island Inn emerged out of a 400-year-old vernacular tradition of creating seemingly temporary although ultimately permanent structures that are light on their feet.
The Inn is explicitly tied to Fogo Island and the architectural traditions of Newfoundland outports in the way it meets with the natural landscape, the use of materials throughout, and most importantly, the pragmatic and collaborative design and construction process.
