Homes are built in harmony with the forces of Nature that have created this paradise. While there is absolutely no certainty when it comes to Nature, there are common sense considerations to help mitigate much of the known peril of island living. The main levels of all homes are 10 feet above ground to sit above potential storm surges. The foundation that supports your villa is designed with GeoPier technology to protect against liquefaction during earthquakes.
The villa structure is designed to the highest codes for hurricane protection and then some, including a combination of hurricane glass, storm shutters and a metal roof design has the best track record in high winds.
All Villas are built for water catchment with cisterns, designed to be more than sufficient for the relatively dry island environment. Essential outdoor equipment, such as condenser units are maintained on decks at the main level. Robust landscaping is designed to maintain the beach against wave action. No matter where you live, Nature is a force to be reckoned with but your home in Paradise is well suited against the perils of the Caribbean.
The developers have received all of the necessary permits from the AB/DCA (Antigua and Barbuda Development Control Authority) to build four home models (Royal Palm, Coco Plum, Seagull and Trade Winds) on Villa lots. For Villa Owners wishing to design and build their villas, the Developers and their design firm, CPC Inc., will assist in the process of acquiring design approval and building permits as well as any other logistical A/E services that may be required to design and construct your own villa.
Also, “designer ready” villas may be built so you may customize any of these pre-approved villa designs. Villa Owners can have a very involved, “hands on” input, with a great degree of flexibility in customizing “pre-approved plans.
