Set along the Bahamian shoreline, this residence is shaped by its climate, landscape, and the region’s tradition of timber & masonry construction. The design draws from local vernacular architecture while introducing a modern aesthetic. A broad cedar roof with deep overhangs anchors the building, providing coastal protection, while the elevated structure preserves natural site conditions. Generous floor to ceiling French door openings allow for ease of function and circulation while bringing in natural daylight and fresh air

Local materials and craftsmanship define the project. Mass timber forms the primary structure, with exposed joinery that reflects traditional Bahamian carpentry. Wood is used consistently across the walls, columns, and decking, creating a cohesive material expression suited to both climate and context. The cedar roof and timber elements reinforce a sense of simplicity and permanence.
