Living lightly on the land
Perched high on a crescent ridge above the sea, Rosalita invites you to live outside-in. Buildings unfold like a village grown over time, each framing a new encounter with the lush landscape. Breezes guide you through porches, loggias, and garden paths—immersively tropical, deeply serene. As one guest proclaimed, “this place forces you to relax.”

OUR ROLE

Landscape Architecture
New construction with an old-soul spirit, this home was shaped by passionately engaged owners and a shared embrace of whimsy. Having lived in Barbados, they loved the romantic designs of Oliver Messel. And so, the architecture is rich with handcrafted detail—conch shell friezes, carved mahogany palms, and playful gestures throughout. Bringing together artisans from near and far, the tropical retreat feels fantastical and rooted. With the clients’ own vegetable garden and show of support for local farming and fishing, the home feels indigenous, as if it’s always been there.
