West Indies Cottage – Nassau, Bahamas
This unique West Indies Coastal Cottage was designed to take in beautiful views of the Bahamas coast line. Full of charm and at every turn there are decorative details to be discovered.
Starting with a curved entry and cantilevered balcony, the Brindisi mixes delightful elements with dramatic engineering in this West Indies Cottage. Curved braces support the front balconies while a dual pitched roof softens the height of the home. Solid quoins edge the smooth stucco on the first floor, while horizontal siding above adds interest to the front façade. A masonry parapet with circular design focuses the attention back to the front main entry.
The motor court sets the stage between the main house and detached 2-car Garage.
