Modern Bahama-West Indies Architecture and Interior Design
on Fort Lauderdale’s Intracoastal

Designing a Modern Bahamas-West Indies Home
on the Fort Lauderdale Intracoastal

Nestled along the Fort Lauderdale Intracoastal waterway, this newly constructed custom home embodies a style I affectionately call "Modern Bahamas - West Indies." Working alongside my client and their architect, we brought to life a vision that combines the relaxed elegance of Bahamian charm with the understated sophistication of the West Indies aesthetic. Inspired by the tropical beauty of Ocean Reef Club, this home’s architecture merges coastal tranquility with luxurious finishes that cater to modern living.

Embracing the West Indies Aesthetic

This home blends classic West Indies architecture with colonial influences, emphasizing a seamless indoor-outdoor flow and open floor plans. The exterior features a crisp white facade with modern elongated corbels, architectural trim, and detailed window sills. Palladian windows and a stone entrance foyer create an inviting entry, while a classic Bahama shutter adds tropical charm, combining elegance and functionality for a sophisticated yet relaxed coastal ambiance. Tropical Island Appeal Meets Contemporary Design

These design choices bring in the tropical allure of the islands, with light, airy spaces that open up to the beautiful Intracoastal views. Inside, we balanced traditional island materials with modern touches to create a timeless, inviting space. Bamboo, wood, and natural stone are paired with modern finishes and clean lines, resulting in a seamless blend of laid-back island charm and contemporary elegance.

To bring a taste of the islands to your waterfront retreat, consider this blend of airy architecture, natural materials, and sophisticated design elements. It’s a style that’s as welcoming as a gentle sea breeze and as enduring as the ocean.
