Not every project gives you a week like this. Spent the week in Turks and Caicos deep in finish selections for a villa I’ve been thinking about since we first started discussing the project. When you’re designing for a place like this, the location does a lot of the thinking for you. Everything we chose had to make sense here, the salt air, the humidity, the sun, the way this house is going to live and age over time. Cumaru wood is going throughout the entire home and it was an easy decision. It comes from the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, naturally one of the densest and hardest woods in the world, incredibly resistant to moisture and wear. It doesn’t just survive in a climate like this, it thrives. That’s the kind of material thinking I love, where beauty and function are completely inseparable. XXNT
