Client - José Pitta Gros

The bay of a capital in Africa has many traffic lines, light evocations, smell of oil. The sand and ocean of the island in front protect the shacks and night fall music when inhabitants start cooking outside at the sunset. Helicopters of rich businessmen, oil rig engineers, presidents of countries and banks. All contribute to the geometry of growth and shade. Inside you can view your dreams, outside you can climb and rest. Life is a reflection on the bay, and a flickering giant lightsign saying Thousand and One Star hotel, on the roof top of Babel.
