Working in collaboration with Coast Architects, we designed this five-bedroom villa and two-bedroom guest house in the Leeward area of Providenciales, where contemporary Caribbean architecture meets thoughtful environmental design. Currently under construction, the project exemplifies luxury that embraces its tropical setting.
The architectural strategy prioritises natural comfort. Deep overhanging eaves and strategically positioned pergolas shield living spaces from intense sunshine, while strategic openings channel cooling breezes throughout the interior. This passive approach helps to create comfort while reducing the need for energy-hungry mechanical systems.
Spatial planning balances privacy with connection. The guest house crowns the site’s rear above integrated garage and storage, while the main villa flows around a cleverly conceived two-part pool – shallow lounging areas for relaxation, deeper zones for serious swimming. The adjacent cabana with fire pit and barbecue area extends the living area into the landscape.
The material palette speaks to its context without cliché. Crisp white render meets traditional shingle roofing that ages gracefully in salt air. A dramatic flat-roofed slot clad in native stone houses the cantilevered staircase, connecting the two-storey bedroom wing with central living areas while extending as a visual thread across the garage and continuing as timber pathway into the landscape.
Interior atmospheres balance brightness with warmth. Fabric wallpapers and white walls capture and reflect abundant natural light, while warm grey stone floors and rich timber elements provide tactile contrast and visual anchoring.
