Located on the West Coast and set against a backdrop of towering trees and aquamarine sea, the composition of this single-family beach house celebrates Barbados' vernacular wooden Chattel house by placing it on an elevated masonry ground plane while preserving the layers of privacy, typical in this iconic typology.

 

Duality becomes a theme throughout the house. Walls become windows, windows become doors, glass roofs dissolve into sky and boundaries between indoors and outdoors are seamless allowing the small house to feel exceptionally spacious.
