“We had a love at first sight for St Barth, but the houses over there were overpriced. As the island is very close to Sint Maarten, we decided we wanted to look for a villa over there, and made many visits. But whether it was on the French or Dutch side, we had found nothing to our liking. Therefore, we decided to build our own villa. After some research, we found a beautiful location overlooking Dawn beach, with 180° view, from Anguilla to St Barth. After that we had to find an architect. After research, we found a project of villas at Indigo Bay, with a very modern design, radically opposed to the more common traditional Caribbean. Design and drawings for these villas were done by AAP, whom we decided to contract.

While living in France, 7300 kilometers from the island and our architect AAP, it was a challenge to lead this project, but with only few meetings on site and with a friendly and close collaboration by mail, the project was completed successfully.

Optimization of views, outer space according to the winds, budget management, translation of our wishes, while offering options and improvements, throughout the project, are the essential qualities we encountered working together with AAP. For the duration of construction, from obtaining the building permit towards completion AAP was present, with regular monitoring site, managing the budget and meetings with the contractor.

After our move to our new home on Sint Maarten, AAP was still available to help us solve some problems inherent to the contractor. We are proud of our villa ALIZEA, and happy to live there, and we proudly recommend AAP for your projects.”
