Designed by Lindsay Brown, inspiration was drawn from the clients passion for water, and sailing, hence trying to integrate the design with the landscape, and its interaction with water. The design carefully "utilizes the site’s climatic conditions to drive many design elements such as breezeways, pools, covered areas and orientation."
With materials specifically chosen to mimic the rock and earth textures that are found in the surroundings, as well walls carefully placed to withstand hurricane force winds, and design methods that allow water to be self sufficient (Leach field, power production, and potable water storage) this is a good example of biomimicry.
