b'WEST INDIESThe simple forethought and features graciously encourage the West Indies home design to progress as afront runner for all home designs. The preparation of this concept comes in the planning of space. West Indies design utilizes space to give height and cohesion. This home is an elaborate 4800 square feet in living space with another 2000 square feet in outdoor patio space. This design naturally frames both the owners taste and lifestyle through natural elements including stone, wood, and metal. These elements are on display in the design of the staircase with use of space and material. The elegant staircase is not only functional but floating; making it an ergonomic art piece and focal point of the home. The use of space also draws the eye upwards, allowing for focus on the expansiveness of the design. The open concept dwells in the union of living spaces. The living room, dining and kitchen piece together to form a flowing and involved entertaining space for a few, or many, to gather at a time. In this particular design, neutral stone adorns the kitchen walls from floor to ceiling as well as pillars beside the mantle. The neutral stone brings both unique elegance and texture while visually tying in the living and kitchen spaces. The lower level features the Open living space, owners bedroom, as well as the home theater, mud and laundry rooms. The second floor encompasses three additional bedrooms; each with adjoining baths. From the melding of natural elements and the overall design layout, the West Indies home steps forward paying homage to age-old materials in this transitional concept.14 15'
