The inspiration for the house came from the modern, minimalist style commonly found in cyclaedic and balearic islands in the mediterranean. We made extensive use of natural materials and finishes throughout along with minimalist design principles. The house is also built into the top of a ridge 30' above sea level to enjoy plenty of natural light and the expansive view of Long Bay and the emerald ocean .

Location
The Long Bay Hills area of Providenciales is know for its miles long quiet beach, sweeping vistas of the Caicos Bank from its ridge tops, and consistent tradewinds. The protection from crashing waves afforded by the caicos bank combined with consistent winds have made Long Bay a world-class kiteboarding destination. The addition of the ultra-luxury Shore Club Resort at the north end of the beach has cemented Long Bay as Provo's newest vacation spot. The house is located on the first ridge inland, on the first road back from the beach and is one of the only locations with both proximity to beach access and spectacular views.
The house is just a short 8 minute drive to the heart of Grace Bay for groceries, shopping, and restaurants.

House Description and Floor Plan
The house is divided into a 3 Bedroom, two bathroom main house (roughly the left 2/3 in the images on both floors including the straight staircase) and 2 studio suites (right 1/3, one on each floor). The lock-off design allows the house to be rented as either a 3 bedroom, 4 bedroom, or 5 bedroom private villa, with each studio suite able to function as an additional master bedroom with ensuite and private terrace. The main house has two entry doors from the main entrance, one on the 1st floor and one at the top of the common staircase on the 2nd floor.
1st Floor
The entry door on the first floor leads to the hallway (vertical in the image) heading out to the patio and pool. Underneath the stairs is a full-size washer and dryer plus storage area.
The T hallway leads to the 3 bedrooms, bath, and linen closet. The master bedroom bath is an ensuite.
The two bedrooms with a walkout sliding door to the patio each have queen beds, and the 3rd bedroom has a double/twin bunk.
The patio area on the first floor is under roof with an outdoor kitchen / wet bar (BBQ, bar sink, mini fridge) and lounge (built-in sofa and day lounger, coffee table, "pouf" seating)
Around the pool you have a private deck area with sunloungers and stair entry to the shallow end of the pool. The pool would be shared with any guests staying in the studio suites but is set-up such that you each have your own entry and side.
2nd Floor
The entry door from the common staircase leads into an entry foyer. We designed the space such that this room could also be used as an office if desired.
The combined kitchen and living area features a large kitchen with a L-shaped dining table built / breakfast bar built into the island. The kitchen is outfitted with GE stainless steel appliances.
The living room features a large sectional, coffee table, 49" TV, and built-in shelving. There is also a large storage closet off the living room.
The sliding door from the kitchen leads to a covered outdoor dining room that will seat up to 10, and the sliding door from the living room opens to an open sun deck with loungers.
