The Cottage

Meads Bay–Anguilla, BWI

Designing and building a new beach house on a tiny island is not the easiest of jobs. This was a personal project as this land belonged to our great grandmother and I was working with several people who all have different tastes. I wanted to incorporate everyone’s ideas yet make sure the space was cohesive.

This is a cottage so nothing too fancy or formal. A cottage is more traditional. That’s why we have spindles and rails on the veranda and not glass. I wanted it to be comfortable. It’s Relaxed Chic. It’s the vacation home of your favorite aunt and uncle who like to have a cocktail, or two, as they watch the sun set from their veranda.

The logistics! The one two punch of the strongest hurricane to ever hit the Atlantic and then two years later the first global pandemic in one hundred years didn’t help. However, thanks to a very dedicated and hard working team, we did it.

Meads Bay is one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean. We wanted to highlight these views so we used bi-fold/accordion doors. Click HERE for more information regarding vacation rentals.

ETA: In 2023 we built an infinity pool and added some new furniture in the living room and dining area.
