Peninsula VillasDesigned to be viewed in the round

Located at the far easterly end of the world-famous Grace Bay Beach, the peninsular site is seen from all sides: from the beach, from the road, and from the water. In response to this condition, the villas were conceived as a group of pavilions with no front or back, set within lush tropical landscaping. 

A rigorous, contemporary upper level sits under a large overhanging roof that provides solar shading to the bedrooms and wraparound balconies. Inside, large and dramatic rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows capture 180-degree vistas of the ocean and the protected national parks of Little Water Cay and Mangrove Cay.

The ground floor plan pushes out into the landscape, and its outdoor spaces become just as important as the internal environment. Overhead, the upper floor cantilevers, protecting the outdoor living spaces from the harsh sun and bad weather. At the center of the plan, a clerestory feeds daylight into a dramatic double-height space, allowing the passage of the day to register inside. The homes combine functionality and drama, fostering a fundamental connection with nature.
