This contemporary villa embraces the essence of island living with a focus on simplicity, openness, and smart design. Conceived on a modest budget, the project was guided by a conscious decision to maximize outdoor living—creating generous verandas, terraces, and open-air rooms that not only enhance lifestyle but are also significantly more cost-effective to build than enclosed interior spaces.
Centered around a tranquil private courtyard and pool, the layout offers a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, encouraging connection with the landscape and ocean breezes. Deep overhangs provide shade and comfort, while curated planting and considered lighting soften the architectural lines and bring warmth to the outdoor zones.
Key features include:
– Cost-efficient design emphasizing outdoor living
– Private pool courtyard with integrated lounging and dining
– Minimalist, climate-responsive forms and materials
– Open-plan kitchen and entertainment spaces that blend inside and out
With clean lines, natural finishes, and strategic spatial planning, this villa offers a refined yet grounded approach to contemporary Caribbean architecture—we don't always require a lavish budget, just clear priorities and creative thinking.
