Hugh Petter of Robert Adam Architects was commissioned to design a new Colonial style residence of some 10,000 square feet on a prominent site, fusing traditional Caribbean details with the latest technology to create a comfortable, modern family home.  The brief was to design a dignified but understated building, the plan of which is to be flexible, enabling it to be used, on the one hand by a young family and, on the other hand, for large parties. 

The main accommodation is housed in the central block, at the heart of which is a double height stair hall.  The two wings contain a library and play room, providing places of retreat, remote from the more public parts of the house.  A wide portico on the entrance front terminates a vista from the approach road and, on the seaward side; a full-length two-storey porch offers spectacular views over the swimming pool to the ocean beyond.  The design has attracted favourable attention in the Caribbean media and work was completed in late 2004.
