The Barbados is a modern beach home styled after the luxury beach homes of the caribbean coast. The interior of the home faces the pool courtyard which is filled with the sound of the waterfall wall. The family theatre is connected with the kitchen and provides a two story movie projection space. Living and dining are divided by a textured glass wall, and open to the pool with folding doors by Nanawall. The upper floor houses 5 bedroom suites, including one over the garage which could be a home office or artist's gallery.
