After hurricane Maria hit the island of St. Maarten in 2017, the resort { as well as the island in general } was closed for renovations. New restaurants, pools, bars, came out of this renovation project. One of them was: Fort Amsterdam Cafe.

Fort Amsterdam in St. Maarten is the ruins of what used to be this fort. The property is located in the Divi Resort area, and, they now have this cafe there.

For this project, I wanted to capture the history and the strength of what was left of the structure, I wanted to match the history, something that you may not always see in Caribbean branding, yet, if you pay attention to the history, you can see it’s there.
