NOWNESS: Coppola’s Belize - Turtle Inn - Apr 08, 2011
"Just beyond the scope of Francis Ford Coppola’s Turtle Inn lies the recently unveiled Beach House, a paragon of natural modernism photographed for the first time by NOWNESS photographer Mauricio Alejo. Architect Laurent Deroo, whose Harajuku A.P.C. store served as a location in Sofia Coppola’s Lost in Translation, was commissioned by the Coppola family to create the teak wood, slab slate and aluminum design."
"Francis Ford Coppola’s Belizean resort Blancaneaux Lodge, shot for NOWNESS by photographer Mauricio Alejo, is a rustic jungle utopia that reflects the film legend’s directing instincts, prizing location and authenticity. 'I love the creativity involved in making a place comfortable without disturbing it,' he says."
