The site is located Pointe Limbé, in North Haiti. The topography of the land has a 40 metres elevation from the top of the site to the beaches. There are seven beaches in total and the total size of the plot is 59 acres.
Topography and Beaches
The masterplan strategy is divided into three phases. Phase one focuses on the Northeast tip of the coast and includes a land survey, basic infrastructure and landscaping, initial planning of community areas and walkways, placement of buildings etc. Phase two includes continuing construction of buildings and infrastructure, while phase three includes finalizing landscaping as well as community areas.
Masterplan Phases
Due to the nature of the bungalow design and through our strategic use of the sloping topography, we were able to create a sense of privacy for each bungalow.
Bungalow Privacy Strategy
The design of the bungalows is a modular hexagonal shape, that can be expanded in order to accommodate extra space.
Structure
Below are some examples of the living modules, including a bedroom, living room and bathroom core, kitchen and dining, as well as a porch.
