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.

Bathrooms and Bath Gardens!
In the western guest bedroom, we built a full bathroom with shower, but then decided it would be nice to have a tub too.

Notice the bath tub. There is no room for it. So we put in a back door off the bath and a walled private garden. The bath tub will sit in the garden, with a peekabo few of the ocean.

Below is the outside shower in the bath garden.

The master bath is also finished now. Here is the sink, of blown glass.

Again, the master bath was designed with an elegant shower, including planters for orchids, but no bath tub. So we built a large wall garden off the bath, with a 12 foot opening. And in that garden we built a large tub.
