Villa Bibi

Residential Renovation of a Villa in Vitet

Contemporary Vision
Located high above the lagoon of Grand Cul-de-Sac, the renovation of Villa Bibi commenced when the property changed hands and the new owners brought a more contemporary vision with them.

While maintaining the overall footprint of the original five bedroom villa, the interiors were completely opened up by eliminating many walls.  Small rooms were jettisoned in favor of an open floor plan which, with enlarged doors & windows, now flows effortlessly between interiors & exteriors.

Outside, excavation at the rear of the villa created a tropical garden with spaces for dining & lounging.
Sucupira was imported from Brazil for interior floors, window frames and shelves, as well as exterior woodwork.
