Atelier House, Carlton - St. James

This stylish and newly built contemporary villa sits on a ridge that allows it to boast dramatic sea views over an impressive gulley, which can be enjoyed from the infinity edge pool, extensive terrace and living areas and the bedrooms. Atelier House represents a level of style, elegance and design rarely available in Barbados.

The design was conceptualised in close collaboration with the interior architect / owner, who has completed projects for discerning homeowners in London, France, Italy and Kenya. Atelier House is a stunning Caribbean retreat.

The dramatic double-height living space maximizes the stunning views which extend beyond the outdoor terraces and pool across a mahogany tree-filled gully to the Caribbean Sea. In addition to the ground-level terraces and 32 x 27 ft. pool there is a large roof terrace and mezzanine-level study offering stunning views of the West Coast. The villa is surrounded by a half-acre of gardens featuring indigenous palms, lilies, bougainvillea and many flowering shrubs.

The accommodation comprises four spacious bedrooms; the upstairs master suite has a glazed balcony with sunset views over the sea and a covered outdoor terrace for relaxing; the en suite bathroom has separate bath and shower facilities. The three guest bedrooms are all located on the ground floor; an en suite guest bedroom features an enclosed outdoor shower, while the two additional guest bedrooms share a bathroom between them.
