Here you will find my most recent work. My objective is as always the quality of the finished work, not how quickly I can produce it.

After emancipation former slaves were permitted to reside as tenants on lots in the sugar cane plantations. Continuity, tenure and 'terms' were, however, subject to the whims of the landowners. The tradition evolved of building homes which could be dismantled &transported by simply by say horse-drawn carts. Then reassembled at a different site on a simple solid base. These early homes were just a single room. Later many evolved in a modular fashion as the size of families grew.Finally building a solid stone built lower level on owning the land. Then this family?

Typical design features are:
Symmetrical fronts with central door and 2 windows.
Usually painted in bright, contrasting colours.
Steep-pitched, 'corrugated iron' roofs for wind resistance.
