Windbreak VillaA home shaped by the wind

Located near a kiteboarding beach with powder-soft sand leading to the beloved Caicos Bank, the site of Windbreak Villa f is defined by a delicate dune, thick patches of Silver Thatch Palms, and other native vegetation. The home’s orientation responds sensitively to this fragile ecosystem, preserving the topography and existing plant life as much as possible. As a result, the house appears to have been carefully placed in the native bush, as though it had been there all along. 

A serpentine driveway curves between the edges of the site, expanding the experience beyond its physical boundaries. The house is revealed at the last turn—a chiseled sculpture on a rough-cast plinth embedded behind the dune. A central break in the plinth marks the path to the entrance, which over time will be enveloped by the new mahoganies. Mahogany floors and ceilings pair withdeep blue-grey walls to define the entry sequence, creating a moment of cooling respite before ascending to the main living spaces. 

The second level, the heart of the home, opens to views of the Caicos Bank. The stepped floor plan allows the sea view to unfold sequentially across the residence, while a series of connected bays separate the kitchen, dining room, and living space. A three-storey atrium, animated by a white ribbon staircase, casts soft white light into the space, occasionally mixing with the cool turquoise of the sea or the warm hues of the setting sun.
