IVY'S ON THE BLUFF

Ivy's On The Bluff is a stunning minimalist residence designed on a rectangular block in the Whitehouse, Westmoreland, Jamaica. There is a picture-perfect panorama of the Caribbean Sea viewable through the glass facade, which was the main architectural consideration when the project was commissioned. The length of the block was optimised by placing the building in such a way that the inner rooms of the home face some element of the surrounding landscape. A sharp angle can be seen towards the end of the right side of the structure, as it follows the boundary lines of the site. This angle is mimicked by the shape of a triangular jacuzzi. The design of the house not only takes advantage of the proximity to the sea but also melds seamlessly with its natural surroundings, fostering a tranquil, harmonious environment.
