Step inside Polo Villa, a Barbadian home by local practice Elements Architecture
On the west coast of Barbados, the land drops away from the hills to the sea. The prevailing breeze comes from the east, easing the consistently warm Barbadian climate, whose winter temperature average of 26°C is only a degree lower than the summer average. The hills are shaped into a series of steeper slopes and flatter ridges, and it was on one of these ridges, next to a polo field, that architect Douglas Patrick Luke took some clients to look at a potential site.
Luke’s clients, a couple from the UK, had been faced with a common dilemma; whether to site their new-build house within Barbados’ existing urban fabric, or, as is more common, to locate it inside one of the island’s many gated resorts. Integrating their new home into an existing streetscape would mean integrating into an existing community. It was a course Luke recommended, based on his local knowledge.
