Beach House, Bahamas

A grand villa situated within a seaside development, this house is designed to classical principles in a traditional style reflecting its Caribbean location. A wide portico on the entrance façade terminates a vista from the approach road. The seaward elevation is distinguished by a full-length, two-storey porch designed to maximise views of the Atlantic from bedrooms and reception rooms, connected to outdoor space via French doors.

At the core is the main accommodation, wrapped around a double-height stair hall, while two subsidiary wings house private, auxiliary spaces including a library and playroom.
