“CasaMolle’s sustainability and earthy architecture/interior design is mainly inspired by its landscapes, environment and valley, rescuing their colors, textures and shapes to achieve mimicry and make its architecture part of the natural environment. Also, the millenary Molle culture has been source of inspiration for the hotel at the time of designing the lanterns, doors, signs and specially the amphitheater that is a replica of a Molle vessel. Inside, it is decorated with loom-woven blankets from the north of the country, torches and sheepskins and on the outside covered by grecas and handmade pieces of ceramic stoneware. All together make this great vessel a true work of art where travellers can perform endless activities such as ancestral ceremonies, rituals and wedding blessings.
The architecture of CasaMolle is a combination of constructions types such as the altiplanoes with low walls and adobe widths creating small environments within a large space as citadels, pyramidal roofs of totora, a material present in the surroundings as well as the pitch which are used for closures and boundaries and the stone used in trails and some walls. The architecture of the hotel was based mainly on rescuing the existing resources in the place such as totora, pitch, stone, maicillo and adobe, considering the climatic conditions and making the most of its rich soils by creating orchards and diverse gardens with an endless native species, cactus and succulent fruit trees ,hence, achieving an identity with its environment. In the interior design of CasaMolle, noble and simple materials such as wood and wicker with organic textures such as linen, cotton and sisales in a range of earth and pastel colors are used, truly connecting the hotel to its roots.”
