Pink Sands Resort
The master plan for Pink Sands Resort in Harbour Island, Bahamas included designs for a series of estate homes, beachfront cottages, and common areas. The architecture for these residences drew from local Bahamian inspiration, incorporating large verandas, colorful facades, and shuttered fenestrations—all catering to a tropical vernacular.
Although the architecture recalls traditional Bahamian influences, the resort is still equipped to meet contemporary needs, offering residents the comfort and luxury of more modern living spaces. The hilltop villas reflect the surrounding lush greenery with intricate foliage patterns while beachfront villas echo coral formations on the pink sandy beaches. The cottages provide spacious and comfortable retreats for guests, while the estates sit large, exalting the tropical landscape and views of Dumore Town and the ocean.
Sustainable materials and resilient design solutions were integral to Pink Sands’ planning, ensuring its adherence to LEED qualifications. The cottages are equipped to collect rainwater and cross-ventilation makes use of the natural breezes to offer passive cooling. Locally sourced coral rock and wood provide sustainable and climate-specific materials.

Miami’s design language is rooted in our sunny but challenging climate, and somewhat wild nature. It is lighter, brighter, and freer. When desired, it can immerse us in nature while still having protective boundaries from the sun, heat, and storms when needed.
At the heart of our practice is listening: listening to the unique dreams and passions of our clients and weaving their visions into the vibrant tapestry of our dynamic city. The client envisioned a home that was thoroughly modern yet grounded in historical architectural precedents; like many of our projects, 101 Hibiscus was crafted to respect past design traditions while capturing aspirations for the future.

The design for Coral Gables Residence exhibits a dual nature: a more traditional façade juxtaposed against a sleek and modern rear exterior.
