A Postcolonial Path - Sugar Mills from Taboo to Attraction - St. Croix, USVI

Transformation

The northern sugar mill is transformed into a shelter. This gives an opportunity to have a longer break on the Postcolonial Path and to explore Castle Coakley. The site is beautiful at many times of the day, and the accommodation brings the tempo down to reflect, explore and understand the colonial era. At night, the self-supporting glass gives a view to starry sky and the door shutters emphasize the intimate ecclesial atmosphere. The process of designing the sugar mill, is dynamic and ongoing.
