Atelier House, Carlton Ridge
Atelier House is a stunning Caribbean retreat sitting on a ridge above the west coast of Barbados with dramatic views out to the ocean. The design was conceptualised in close collaboration with the interior architect / owner, who has completed projects for discerning homeowners in London, France, Italy and Kenya. The dramatic double-height living space maximizes the stunning views which extend beyond the outdoor terraces and pool across a mahogany tree-filled gully to the Caribbean Sea. In addition to the ground-level terraces and 32 x 27 ft. pool there is a large roof terrace and mezzanine-level study offering again magnificent views of the West Coast.
The villa is finished with simple, elegant materials such as Portuguese limestone used for all kitchen surfaces and bespoke bathroom fittings, also designed by the owners. The villa has four spacious bedrooms; the upstairs master suite has a glazed balcony with sunset views over the sea and a covered outdoor terrace for relaxing; the en suite bathroom has separate bath and shower facilities. The three guest bedrooms are all located on the ground floor; one of the en suite guest bedrooms feature an enclosed outdoor shower, while the two additional guest bedrooms share a bathroom between them.
The villa is surrounded by a half-acre of gardens featuring indigenous palms, lilies, bougainvillea and many flowering shrubs. The garden is accessed via a large and secure gate and has parking for several cars.
St James is widely considered as the jewel in the crown of Barbados, with unmatched white sandy beaches, high-end hotels and dining that ranges from world-class restaurants to makeshift food stalls serving delicious local fare.
Other attractions and local activities include water sports, horse riding, polo, the farmers' market at Holders, golf at Sandy Lane and Westmoreland, gully walks and stunning beaches.
