The Smiths residence is a five bedroom house located in Portmore. The client expressed to us that he wanted a house that was different from what most Jamaicans would consider to be a traditional, contemporary looking house that one would find in Jamaica. With that in mind we chose to design a modern residence that would not only stand out amongst its surrounding context, but would also be welcoming to its occupancy and still maintaining a tropical feel to be able to capitalize on the positive elements of the natural environment. Being different from the norm we have no doubt that this residence will stand out in its contextual environment as a head turner based on the uniqueness of its design.
