FORBES RESIDENCE

The Forbes Residence is located in Montego Bay, Jamaica perched on the hills of Coral Gardens overlooking the Caribbean Sea. This house was a further exploration into the design principles of making each space ” one room wide” to maximize the lighting and ventilation within the design. Instead of using a courtyard, a pool deck was introduced to act as a design feature as well as a means of cooling for the internal spaces. All rooms within the house opens out with large sliding or swinging doors to the pool area on both levels. The pool is the main focus of the house and is accentuated by tranquil sounds of running water and waving reflections within each internal space with changing moods from day to night.
