on the small island of bequia in the eastern caribbean, one of the islands constituting the country of St Vincent and the Grenadines, Cullum and Nightingale's beach house is a lesson in the reinterpretation of vernacular construction with an environmental conscience. The house, set amid a coconut palm grove on the edge of a beach, is designed to blend into the landscape. it forgoes the strong cuboid form of conventional properties, instead being spliot into two wings around an open connecting stairway. this performs the multiple functions of breaking up the building's outline, allowing views through it, and providing maximum exposure to the cooling breeze.
