New Residence

This new 2-story residence sits on a 1-1/2 acre oceanfront site located in the Turner Hole area on St. Croix. The concrete and wood-framed residence consists of 4600 s.f. of habitable interior space, and 2700 s.f. of outdoor decks and balcony.   Via an ocean-oriented entrance breezeway, the plan separates the main living areas of the house from that of a garage, workshop, and second floor apartment. The house is deliberately organized and designed to take maximum advantage of the ocean view throughout all of the interior spaces, those views being among the best on the island of St. Croix. Those same house views also sweep across a generous marble-finished deck space with a centerpiece dramatic pool. Ready, yet secured access is provided to a private beach area serving the house. The house incorporates a pragmatic and robust response towards the surrounding marine environment and its need for hurricane resistance, through the careful selection of its materials and the associated construction details.
