Atelier is a great investment for the right buyer
“If Atelier is one the most booked vacation rentals it Barbados, it must be one of the most booked in all the islands!”
We built Atelier House on a virgin piece of land overlooking a stunning mahogany wood with beautiful views to the sea. We always wanted to build a house from scratch and, once we saw this plot, knew it had to be here. The design flowed from the topography of the land and our admiration for South American contemporary modern, the chief exponent of which is, in our view, Marcio Kogan.
We decided to let it out to discerning clients because we got such an amazing response to it from visitors and wanted to share the experience with others.
Atelier House is unique on Barbados. It brings a touch of relaxed contemporary chic to an island that sometimes displays a bit of faded glory. It’s design, and success as a vacation rental business, has influenced numerous homes built in its wake.
Why are we selling?
Times change. When we built Atelier we had 4 young kids. Now they’re growing and making their own way in the world. We want to help them on that journey by investing in their futures.
“Like your own private 5 star boutique hotel! Magnificent. You will not be disappointed.”
The layout is designed to maximize the views from the plot so the shape of the building follows the lines of the boundary. We separated day/living space from night/sleeping space for reasons of practicality — i.e. when the kids are in bed the adults can play without disturbing them!
The interiors use a simple palette of limestone and white painted walls to provide unity in all spaces and allow carefully chosen pieces of art and furniture some space to breathe.
The dimensions of openings, walkways and rooms is intended to provide comfortable mobility such that a guest should never feel pinched for space.
“The house is simply stunning, a glorious, spacious and relaxing environment”
