Mary Ann's Tropical Building Page

This is the web site for the three villas that I built on Anguilla and the villa that I am renovating in St Barts (see Azu Villa Renovation Page), plus tropical construction tips and resources as well. These construction projects started in 1997, although land acquisition and architectural planning started in 1995. Every stage of the construction is recorded here.

We rent the villa in St Barts and the guest cottage in Anguilla (La Vanda) and the villa at the top of the Anguilla property (Mimosa), but we keep the beachfront house and pool for our own use. And we have created a name and web page for the overall completed property: Bellamare

For details on the main Anguilla beachfront house, visit the Residence Construction Page.

For the technology center, visit the "Clubhouse" Construction Page.

And finally, for the guest cottage, our first attempt at construction on Anguilla, visit the La Vanda Construction Page.

Construction Tips

Sunday, August 27, 2000 Permalink

The Generator Building.
This building is built around a 24KV diesel generator to protect it from the elements and cut down on the noise. The roofline is patterned after traditional Anguillian ovens.

The Pump Room.
This is a new small building near the main house. It will house the water pumps, pressure tanks, pool pump, and master electrical panel from Anglec.

Master Bath Garden Court.
The garden coutyard off the master bath now has bamboo rafters over it. Mosquito net will be placed over that to keep the inserts out, making it possible to leave the 12' opening from the bathroom open most of the time. The bamboo was shipped from the island of Dominica on a small inter-island freightor.
