Blue Cay Parallel VillasA home that embraces nature
Consisting of 16 home sites ranging from 0.68 to 0.84 acres, Blue Cay redefined waterfront living at Leeward, Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands. Blee Halligan designed and delivered all 12 canal-front homes and all 4 beach-front homes, based on four base typologies that paired familiar Caribbean vernacular forms with subtle inflexions of modernity.
The architecture of each of the house designs is an ‘unfolding story’. A journey of exciting spaces and uses, from driveway to front door, to Foyer, to Grand Room and through to the landscaped gardens and outdoor living spaces beyond. The overarching Masterplan of the four house types forms an architecturally coherent ‘family’. The homes use a consistent, robust and high quality palette of materials in order to create an elegant composition of dwellings, that are each subtly different, but when brought together create a beautiful, unified whole.
The Parallel Villa provides an exceptional experience of connected internal living spaces. We have designed a home of transitional experiences. Pure circulation space is kept to a minimum and corridors have been widened to become living spaces, in their own right. Upon entering, a large frameless roof light allows daylight to fall into the centre of the house with a clear view of the blue skies.
The vista beyond is unobstructed from the entrance through the landscaped gardens to the canal beyond. The landscaping has been introduced right up against the rear window-façade with a feature tree, emphasizing the sense that this home embraces nature.
