INTERIORS Going Big and S There is a fascinating dual aesthetic at HouseGardenKitchen&Bath 2020 work at “Windlock,” a grand, yet simple home that is both alluringly secluded and daringly open. Led by Botelho Wood Architects, in close consultation with the homeowners, the project was not only a complete “gut job” but also a complete reimagining of this magnificent waterfront property. “This was an extensive renovation in which every wall of the house was affected,” says Krystal Rodrigues, associate architect at Botelho Wood. “There was a partial demolition of the existing structure and additions to the existing building, including a new garage, mudroom, powder room, three full bathrooms and a dining terrace.” 10

INTERIORS All in all, the project encompassed approximately 3000 square feet of renovation and another 1500 square feet of new additions, with construction lasting 13 months, but the design phase was “much longer than that.” The result is a near unrecognisable transition from a traditional Bermuda-style home to a sleek, chic, space that overflows with natural light and spills easily onto the waterfront patios and lawn. “We went big,” says Ms. Rodrigues. “That was our motto for this project.” Approaching the home, visitors are welcomed through a custom-built, over-sized front door leading to a formal living 12 HouseGardenKitchen&Bath 2020

INTERIORS more traditional style. “From a design perspective, we accomplished this by using traditional materials and elements from Bermuda vernacular architecture,” says Mr. Botelho. “For example, on the front entry stairs, we used the traditional masonry-formed handrail that arrives at a flat-roofed porch before entering the house. “Both the front entry porch and the verandah use wood for columns, beams, and railings that not only speak to traditional vernacular but helps to soften the addition and blend the old with the new harmoniously.” A second challenge for the project was incorporating an additional water tank to meet health and planning codes and regulations. Botelho Wood was able to minimise the cost impact of the water tank by placing it directly under the raised verandah, keeping it above ground and minimising the amount of excavation required. Additional features that enhance the project include hurricane-rated PVC doors and windows from BITCo, ceiling fans that will provide air movement on still and hot days, rectangular in-stair lighting on the vertical face of the stairs up to the verandah from the garden, and inconspicuous round stair and wall lights from the driveway up to the main entry to the house to light the access paths to the house, providing both safety and visual interest at night. “We are really pleased with how the additions have turned out,” says the homeowner. “The verandah successfully brings the views into the home and creates a wonderful space to entertain and enjoy.” KEY SUPPLIERS • BotelhoWood Architects • ESC Limited • ESCape Home • Stafford Flooring • Vieira Construction & Painting 22 HouseGardenKitchen&Bath 2020

Because of the old pine beams in the ceiling, CTX was asked to design something “really contemporary” for the kitchen. It is also open plan, so it was important to hide the appliances. “This opens into their dining and living room area so they wanted to do the concealed appliances so it just feels seamless,” she explains. The modern appliances include an induction hob, which, says Ms. Grayston, “is great because you could put your hand on it, and you won’t burn your hand.

INTERIORS Breathtaking views from these A Hotel and Tspacious one-bedroom lofts a Home he Azura units presented a new challenge for the team at CTX Design Group because they have owners and are also rented out to hotel guests. “You’re designing for two different types of clients,” says senior interior designer Lauren Grayston. “Somebody who’s only going to be there a short time and somebody who’s going to be there for longer, so you need to consider that with storage and the appliances.” Nestled away next to a nature reserve but high up overlooking South Shore in Warwick, there is no doubt that the star of the show is the view, and the interiors of the one-bedroom loft units have been designed specifically to showcase the ocean and surrounding environment. “The overall look and feel are meant to be clean, contemporary and to take advantage of the setting,” says Ms. Grayston. The unit has a high ceiling and is light, spacious, and modern. The downstairs is open plan, so all the kitchen appliances are integrated, and the cabinetry is sleek and simple. A laundry area, with washer, dryer, and storage, is discreetly hidden in a cupboard by the front door. Through the living room, you can open up the sliding doors to a small but attractive tiled and grass garden for the indoor/ outdoor experience. Bermudian artists are subtly showcased throughout, including Bay Grape prints by Fay Bush and marine-themed photographs by LookBermuda. An Andrea Lopes cushion decorates the bed. Even the upstairs is open plan, with no wall blocking the bedroom from the view outside. There are electric roller shades for privacy and to block the light. There are two bathrooms, one downstairs and one upstairs, which, says Ms. Grayston, are “interesting and not fussy. You have simple flooring, floating vanities, and a corner shower.” Storage was an important element of the design for when the owners are not using the property; instead, it is rented to hotel guests. Hidden away upstairs, beyond the bedroom, bathroom, and wardrobe is a “lock-off space,” which is a simple room, where all the owners’ possessions can be safely stored. 30 HouseGardenKitchen&Bath 2020

INTERIORS Industrial Farmhouse Style The redesign and renovation of Heron’s Hideaway revived an existing Bermuda cottage, and created inviting spaces for the owners and their growing family. The property provides direct water access and affords opportunities for gathering; however, the interior spaces were dark, uninviting and a mishmash of finishes and styles. The redesign embraced an interior renovation of the entire house, implementing a modern infrastructure backbone and weaving an industrial farmhouse aesthetic throughout. At the heart of the house, the kitchen and living room received the most attention with both spaces being completely re-worked to be friendly to larger gatherings. In particular, the kitchen was renovated from scratch with new millwork, fixtures and fittings, all chosen to strengthen the more contiguous palette. The kitchen is now a major focal point during events in the home — with a stylish yet functional farmhouse table, picture frame TV and even a beer tap.
