Set along the Bahamian shoreline, this residence is shaped by its climate, landscape, and the region’s tradition of timber construction. The design draws from local vernacular architecture while introducing a modern, turn of the century aesthetic. A broad cedar roof with deep overhangs anchors the building, providing coastal protection, while the elevated structure preserves natural site conditions. Vertical wood panels and generous glazed openings frame views and bring daylight into the interior.

Local materials and craftsmanship define the project. Mass timber forms the primary structure, with exposed joinery that reflects traditional Bahamian carpentry and highlights contemporary precision. 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.
