Favorite Places: Fogo Island

During a recent trip to Fogo Island, we found not only architectural inspiration, but a glimpse into a culture that values community, arts, and a strong connection to place...

The architectural landscape centers on Fogo Island Inn, one of the most unique hotels on one of the world's most dramatic coastlines, designed by architect Todd Saunders.

Also by Saunders are several art studios located throughout the small island; they house artists in residency with the Fogo Island Arts program, and like the Inn, are contemporary, contextual and rooted in community.

The following are a few snapshots from our stay on the island...
