Near Punta del Este, Uruguay

Conde Nast Traveler (US), January 2011
"In La Barra, expect exposed brick, rusted ironwork, and distressed wood at designer Aaron Hojman's idiosyncratic six-room Casa Zinc, which is stuffed with well-chosen antiques and industrial oddments."

Save to favouritesPrintMailCasa ZincIt takes a serious design guru to make rusty banisters and old sofas look cool. And design guru is exactly what Casa Zinc owner Aaron Hojman is: he has cleverly filled his homely posada - which started off as a showroom for his wonderful antique shop down the road - with tasteful vintage finds from Uruguay and beyond, transforming a building full of random odds and sods into one of the hippest places to stay on Uruguay’s exclusive east coast. From the outside, Casa Zinc attracts attention with its depot-style corrugated iron walls and distressed siding. Once inside, things get a whole lot prettier with the gravel courtyard and its grand olive tree, iron tables and Art Nouveau chairs. Light pours into tall salvaged windows, and the sweet scent of lavender plants wafts into the communal breakfast room. Hojman has a bit of an obsession with antique globes, which line the mantelpieces and bookshelves, as do old siphon bottles and an impressive collection of vintage dictionaries. Best of all are the the 6 [r:UR008:guest rooms], light-filled and lovely, with vintage laboratory lamps, iron bathtubs and old desks.
