Project in process/

Located in the British Virgin Islands, this luxury villa is designed to welcome working professionals from all over the world who need to be on the island for a perfect balance of work and leisure. This four bedroom exclusive villa features a home office, a pool and a private garden, offering something for every member of the family! 

 

Perched on a steep hill, this villa offers stunning views of the ocean on one side and private views of greenery on the other. Our concept centred around creating a milestone landmark in the centre of the city. Composed of a collection of cubes, the villa cascades over the hill, embracing the natural contour lines. The bottom deck cantilevers out of the hill to create a viewing platforms to enjoy stunning views of the ocean. 

 

Over two storeys, the villa contains a double height common space including the living area, the dining area and an open kitchen, all opening to the pool area that is equipped with a bbq and a lounging deck. In the private quite area of the house, the home office allows focused work to take place. On the second floor, tucked away in quiet privacy are 4 bedrooms all equipped with ensuite bathrooms and at their centre a private garden, hidden away for some peace and tranquillity. 

Aesthetic & Colour Palette

From an interior perspectives, we created an aesthetic that combines the tropical beauty of the island with a modern tone to match the visitors professional life, during their stay. The colour palette we created centers around local materials (stone / wood) and earthy colours.

Architecture is a service, not a product.
Architecture is a service, not a whim or a fancy.
Architecture starts from the users, not from the Architect. This means, listening to clients and users is indispensable and the service needs to be created from them, with them, and not imposed on them.

"This document was very interesting and I could not agree more with you. My wife & I had one experience of renovation with our current apartment. Our architect at that time should have read your document beforehand, to say the least."

“We would like to express our gratitude for the time you invested in helping us get to a clear picture.  Anna and I really appreciated the call we had with you, your responsiveness, and the great empathy that you exhibited throughout – we certainly felt very “well taken care of” when engaging with you.  On the practical side, we especially appreciated that there was the option to obtain robust bottom-up cost estimates for the construction itself (not every design architect offers this).”
