ntrobus design collective is a luxury, award-winning multi-disciplinary design studio built on the foundation of creating transformative spaces, that are timeless and memorable. Based in Miami, Florida, Designer Alison Antrobus credits her design foundation and ethos to both her Caribbean heritage, her unique academic training at The Rhode Island School of Design, and her innate talent as a visual artist. When Christopher Issa first approached Antrobus Design Collective to renovate the old Breezes Hotel, now known as The S Hotel, that lined the famous Doctor’s Cave Beach in Montego Bay, Jamaica, the company didn’t think twice about taking on such a wonderful project. With the saturation of foreign-owned allinclusive hotels along its coast, both the client and Antrobus Design Collective felt a social responsibility in maintaining the rich local
culture throughout the language of design and operations of this venture. To achieve this goal in the design of one hotel bathroom in particular, the company layered elements of materials, art, geography, and architecture, reflective of Jamaica, as a respectful nod to the location of The S Hotel. Antrobus intentionally used textures, and materials as inspired by the local basket-weaving craft as an inspiration for the bespoke bathtub design in the hotel bathroom. The company commissioned the work of local artist Fiona Godfry to create a mural on the back wall of the grand double shower. The geography of the view from the hotel room governed the layout of the bathroom. As a result, the floor plan of the bathroom offers a visual connection between the bespoke tub and the grand double shower to the majesty of the view of the ocean and the hills beyond.
