Altamer Villa 1
The project scope is to design a resort at Shoal Bay West in Anguilla, West Indies.
Villa 1 is also known as the Antilles Pearl. This 10,800 ft² (1,003.3 m²) private villa features one principal bedroom suite and four additional guest bedrooms (all with king beds, TVs, and en-suite bathrooms) for a total of 5 bedrooms.
On the first floor, the common area features 21-foot high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, a large dining table, multiple lounge areas, and French doors that open up to the outdoor pool area.
The second floor is broken up into two primary areas – one half boasts a fully-stocked entertainment room with a custom-made pool table, card table, and home theater section while the other half features two of the guest bedrooms.
The third floor features one principal bedroom suite (with a lofted office area and private terrace) and two more guest bedrooms.
The outdoor area features a heated, private swimming pool, shaded dining table, and multiple lounge/sitting areas.
The villa also features a modern elevator lift to all floors, Bluetooth speakers in every room, a 50-foot skywalk and a rooftop terrace.
The project is also known as the Eggleston Residence
The villa is renovated in 2018.
