Set atop a hill overlooking Lay Bay on the island of Sint Maarten, this ground-up residence was envisioned as a seamless extension of island life—where architecture, materiality, and landscape exist in conversation and come together to celebrate the beauty and lifestyle of Caribbean living.

Rooted in a refined coastal sensibility, the home embraces an calming palette of organic textures, natural stone, hand-finished woods, and soft tonal layers that reflect the surrounding environment while creating a relaxed and effortless sense of home.

Designed to blur the boundaries between indoors and out, the residence unfolds through a series of open-air moments, expansive terraces, and thoughtfully framed views that celebrate the rhythm of coastal living. Every space was approached with intentionality, balancing relaxed sophistication with durability and ease, allowing the home to feel equally suited for intimate daily living and family-forward entertaining.

Designed to embrace the rhythms of island living, the outdoor spaces serve as a natural extension of the home’s interior, creating a seamless dialogue between architecture, landscape, and the surrounding sea. Expansive terraces unfold toward sweeping ocean views, while a resort-inspired pool and lounge areas provide a place to gather, unwind, and take in the ever-changing horizon. Together, these spaces embody the essence of indoor-outdoor living—where every room feels connected to the landscape and every moment is framed by the beauty of the water beyond.
