Inz Almaraz

  • Jose Ignacio Alvarez Carratala

Inz Almaraz is a modest and rural hotel in Ximera de Libar, a small village in Southern Spain. The hotel is called after the original Arabic location where its foundations raise, Inz Almaraz, which means "Woman's fortress". The graphics are based on the geometrical patterns used to decorate Arabic palaces and, when isolated, represent flowers that refer to the woman's body. The usage of blue colour evokes water, a key decorating element within the Arabic tradition. The wood finish of the menu cover meets the rural aspect of the hotel. It also depicts the importance of this material in geometrical images of these palaces.
