Project: Barbuda
Caribbean Resort. The resort includes fifteen cottages dispersed along a one-mile strip of Barbuda’s pristine island
beach, 25 miles North of Antigua. Date of Execution: January 28, 1999 Client: Mike Branker Project Summary:
Each unit has a kitchenette, living room, bedroom, bath, veranda and golf cart. A stone path provides access to the boat
dock and clubhouse. The exterior walls are constructed of thick tilt-up concrete panels that are designed to resist hurricanes
and are located at high elevations to protect against high tides. Self Analysis: Special attention was given toward constructing the cottages in a way that would withstand the oceanic
climate. When our client offered to fly a representative from our office to survey the site, I thought I should
go to ensure that I had accurately delineated the high tide line. But I must admit, I was relieved after hearing about the
sand fleas and mosquitoes indigenous to the island, that it was decided to send the general contractor for the project instead.
Results/Personal Information: Rarely
do I have the opportunity to work on an exotic project such as this. And seldom do I get a chance to create a planting
plan that includes palm trees. Even the vicinity plan was exciting, since I included a scaled drawing of the entire island
of Barbuda.
