Witcher Crawford Architects

Beach house, Bahamas

This stunning 5,000 sq. ft. beach house retreat features three bedroom suites and a large communal living space, all designed to have expansive sea views. The property also has its own gymnasium, swimming pool and outdoor cinema.

The home is designed as a contemporary interpretation of the traditional island style. The buildings are kept low with shallow pitched roofs and have large timber decks and stone terraces. Walls are clad in stone and cedar and have large sliding windows to take advantages of the fabulous views out to sea.

The difficulties of building to a high standard led to a key member of staff moving to the island to project manage the build directly. Witcher Crawford were able to get the best from local craftsmen and decide when skill shortfalls required specialists from further afield. The house was finished on time and on budget and enjoys an exceptional level of detail and quality.
