Approx. 2400sq. ft._Roatan Island, Honduras
A fisherman's cabin retreat on Roatan Island in Honduras. The retreat was commissioned to be designed for four couples who value their privacy. The site is only accessible from the ocean with no access to infrastructure, requiring a design focused on passive design strategies to this specific climate of Hot-Humid. My design for the retreat was inspired to be a reflection of nautical architecture including piers, docks, and vessels representative of Caribbean culture and elements from its history. Straddling the shallows and beach, the retreat is lift 4 ft off the ground on the eastern facade of the ocean, reminiscent of a pier or dock protruding to sea.
