In
the Caribbean Style...
Shown
below are some home designs we have built based on the
traditions and styles of the Caribbean and Gulf Coast. The
designs were developed over many years during our work and
sailing adventures in the Tropics. The styles often mix
17th and 18th century British, French and Dutch Colonial
architecture with that of 19th century Victorian. The
influence of both Native and African cultures are also evident.
The blending of these architectures has formed a unique blend,
both classical and casual, wind blown and sun-drenched........

"Maison Martinique"
Although originally a style
associated with New Orleans and the French Caribbean, examples of this
type of home in Victorian Key West are common. Our home reflects the
styles of the West Indies with influences of
Classical European, French Creole and Island Cultures. Walk around
shuttered verandas, heavy carved gingerbread and ageless entablatures give
this home an old and comfortable feel.

The Rose Gable House
The Rose Gable House combines French
Colonial massing with classical Victorian moldings and Gingerbread porch
trim. The style is often seen in Cajun Louisiana
as a wetland plantation house but lends itself well to a mountain side or beachfront
settings. With long
rambling covered porches and ornamental gazebos providing shaded havens from
the sun and rain, the home provides many possibilities for indoor-outdoor
living.
Our Plan contains 3 Bedrooms plus Den, 3 Bath, 1 Powder, 3200sf
enclosed and over 7000sf of total floor area. Click

In the French Planters style of the 17th and
18th Century, the home was built to reflect the architecture of a 350 year
old Plantation on the Island of Guadeloupe. Heavily detailed, trimmed in

ceilings provides a spectacular vista of the Atlantic. The home is located
