Located on Harbour Island, just off the northern tip of the Bahamas’ larger Eleuthera Island, the two-story residence perches atop a sand bank, giving it the name House on a Dune, and is designed to make the most of views of the surrounding North Atlantic Ocean. Designed with the land, not on the land, the building becomes a frame for nature-shapes, textures, and spaces that respect and celebrate their surroundings. This inherent beauty and humility come from a profound understanding and deference to the location, and the sensitive engagement with local builders and vernacular materials. Its simple rectangular floor plan places the main living area – including the dining room and lounge – at the center of the top floor. Sliding doors open the space entirely onto the two wooden decks on either side. When the doors are opened entirely, the size of the living area is tripled for entertaining guests and sea air is allowed to flow through the house.

View more View less An der Küste von Harbour Island gelegen, unweit der Nordspitze von Eleuthera, der größten Insel der Bahamas, erhebt sich diese zweistöckige Residenz auf einer Sandbank und verdankt ihr so den Namen „House on a Dune“. Sie ist darauf ausgelegt, den Blick auf den umliegenden Nordatlantik optimal zur Geltung zu bringen. Entworfen mit der Landschaft, nicht auf der Landschaft, verschmilzt das Gebäude mit der Natur und wird zu einem Teil von ihr: Formen, Texturen und Räume, die ihre Umgebung respektieren und würdigen. Diese inhärente Schönheit und schlichte Eleganz resultieren aus einem tiefen Verständnis und der Wertschätzung des Standorts sowie der sorgfältigen Zusammenarbeit mit lokalen Bauhandwerkern und der Verwendung regionaltypischer Materialien. Der klare, rechteckige Grundriss positioniert den Hauptwohnbereich – bestehend aus Esszimmer und Wohnsalon – im Zentrum des Obergeschosses. Großzügige Schiebefenster öffnen den Raum vollständig zu den beiden Holzterrassen, die sich beidseitig erstrecken. Bei vollständiger Öffnung vervielfacht sich die Fläche des Wohnbereichs und schafft einen idealen Rahmen für Empfänge, während die erfrischende Meeresbrise das Haus durchflutet. Situata sull’isola di Harbour, a breve distanza dalla punta settentrionale di Eleuthera, la maggiore delle isole Bahamas, questa residenza a due piani si erge su un banco di sabbia, da cui il nome “House on a Dune”, ed è concepita per esaltare la vista sull’Oceano Atlantico settentrionale che la circonda. Progettata con il territorio, non sul territorio, l’edificio si fonde con la natura, diventandone una cornice: forme, texture e spazi che rispettano e celebrano l’ambiente. Questa intrinseca bellezza e sobrietà derivano da una profonda comprensione e valorizzazione del luogo, unite a un’attenta collaborazione con costruttori locali e all’impiego di materiali autoctoni. La sua essenziale pianta rettangolare dispone la zona giorno principale, comprendente sala da pranzo e living, al centro del piano superiore. Ampie vetrate scorrevoli aprono interamente lo spazio sulle due terrazze in legno che si estendono sui lati. Quando completamente aperte, queste vetrate triplicano la superficie del living, creando un ambiente ideale per l’ospitalità e permettendo alla brezza marina di pervadere la casa.
