Set high above the Caribbean Sea, the Dominica residence is a study in tropical serenity. The home draws deeply from its surroundings, using limestone, mahogany, textured plaster, and palm thatch to anchor the architecture in the land and the region’s traditions. Every material feels tactile and honest, shaped to age gracefully within the climate.

Natural light defines the experience. Morning sun filters through wooden slatted ceilings, warming the stone floors and revealing the soft grain of plastered walls. As the day shifts, shadows move gently across the interiors, creating a rhythm that mirrors the landscape outside. The evenings settle into a warm glow, with understated lighting that highlights the earthy textures without disturbing the stillness.

The spaces open fully to the jungle and the sea. A stone-carved tub sits steps away from the coastline. Bedrooms dissolve into the outdoors with oversized windows and low platforms that blend into the vegetation. Terraces wrap around the house like quiet observation points where one can watch the breeze move through the palms.

What emerges is a sanctuary shaped by nature rather than by ornament. Dominica invites slow living, offering a place where the environment leads and design follows. Every corner encourages pause, reflection, and a deeper connection to the world outside—an escape that feels both elemental and profoundly luxurious.
