Project Description
Nestled on a private peninsula on the eastern tip of Virgin Gorda sits Oil Nut Bay – a pristine community, with sun-drenched white sand beaches, dazzling turquoise waters and a stunning lush landscape. With only 88 home sites on the 300 acres property, the community is conceived as a tropical paradise inspired by Caribbean living. OBMI is responsible for the architectural design of the Yacht Club, Oil Nut Palm Center and several private exquisite Ridge, Beach and Estate villas. OBMI’s design established the architectural character and a standard for casual elegance and environmental sensitivity in Oil Nut Bay. The design minimizes site disturbance through an organic organization of volumes and the use of natural materials integrating wood and local stonework. The villas blend into the landscape blurring the boundaries between the interior and exterior, through the use of open pavilions and expansive roofs.
