A tour of the home

The materials follow one calm palette throughout: limewash on the walls, walnut for the joinery, travertine in the bathrooms. Light enters from two sides; the sea breeze blows straight through.

A tour of the home

Ground floor

Entrance & hallway

You enter through a hallway with a sightline all the way into the kitchen. Right by the entrance: a guest toilet and the staircase, with a slender steel balustrade and walnut treads.

Living room & kitchen

The heart of the home is one open space from front façade to terrace. The kitchen has an island seating four, walnut cabinetry and a natural stone splashback. The lounge looks out into the garden through sliding doors.

Outdoors

Terrace & garden

The covered terrace is a second living room: dining table, lounge corner and a garden that flows into the greenery of the park. Use the day/night switch to see how the terrace transforms in the evening: warmer light, longer shadows.

Ground floor

Study with en-suite bathroom

The ground-floor study has a built-in desk, a wall of cabinets and its own bathroom, which makes it just as good a third (guest) bedroom. Handy if you live on Bonaire but work for a Dutch employer.

Landing & bathroom

Upstairs, a bright landing divides the floor. The family bathroom has a double vanity on a travertine top and a spacious walk-in shower.

Bedroom 1

The main bedroom spans the full width of the house, with a wall of wardrobes, a walk-in closet and views of the greenery. The air conditioning works quietly; the timber ceiling does the rest.
