Barbados Trees is an alternate version of the highly-acclaimed modern beach home, Barbados. Styled after the luxury beach homes of the caribbean coast, the interior of the home faces the tree 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 treed courtyard 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.
