A stunning new home is currently under construction in Tucker’s Town.
With contemporary, casual living very much in mind, this 4,600-square-foot home, designed by renowned architects Linberg & Simmons and being built by Atlantic Construction, has ample room for family life or for those who like to welcome house guests.
“The developers wanted something a little bit different from what has been done so many times before in Bermuda, which is a traditional house with separate spaces that are defined by the roof line,” explains Gary Simmons of Linberg & Simmons. “They wanted open plan. So we came up with a simplistic approach of having only two large Bermudian-style roofs. These roofs allow for very large open areas below, with no interruption in the space by beams or lintels.”
“One of the critical elements of architecture in Bermuda for me is large verandas because, with our climate, it’s pleasant to be outside — except in July, August, and September of course,” he jokes. “So this home features very large verandahs extending the full length of two sides of the house. There’s lots of glass and lots of open, airy space – high ceilings with 8-foot doors.
“One important feature of the house I should mention is how we have incorporated the pool into the design. The relationship between the interior space and pool is significant. They are in close proximity and are designed to function together, as opposed to the pool being a destination point from the house. The pool is very much part of the home, both visually, from an aesthetic point of view, as well as from a functional aspect. The interior flows to the verandahs and the verandahs flow seamlessly to the pool deck,” he says.
The entire property is designed for contemporary, casual living and will also be perfect for entertaining. There are spectacular views of Tucker’s Point golf course and the ocean beyond. Plus, there is the opportunity to enjoy all the resort amenities of Rosewood Tucker’s Point Hotel, which surrounds this private lot of almost half an acre. Top-quality finishes throughout the four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom home have been specified, and there is also the opportunity for a buyer to customise the property to suit their individual taste. It is available to Bermudians, PRC holders, and International purchasers. Contact Frith Real Estate, Tel: 333-7067, email: sue@frith.bm, www.frith.bm
