About the book:
This happy and sunny, bi-lingual (English with French translation) book
will take you to a few selected islands of the West Indies: Barbados,
Mustique, Bequia, Grenada, and St. Lucia – exploring diversified
life-styles as shown in a wide range of homes. From small homes in fishing
villages, to heritage plantation houses, designer homes, an extravagant
artist's studio, to multi-million-dollar mansions surrounded by sumptuous
tropical gardens, and a surprising boutique-hotel that defies all standards.
Think of this book as an exotic storyteller, inviting you to discover
hide-away heritage treasures, as well as modern wonders, all in the midst
of breath-taking beauty of nature. There are also some additional advantages
this book can offer. You can find there inspiration for re-decorating
your home; or, if you’re looking for unique accommodation or sightseeing
ideas for your next holiday, it may provide you with answers. You can
also meet there some charismatic, acclaimed architects, should you need
such contacts. The book is written in a very vivid style, with a fresh
and personal approach. The photographs (edited using the newest techniques
for juicy, vibrant colours) will impress you with their excellence and
will stay in your memory.
Overall, this is a book of the highest quality in its genre, one the most
discerning book-lover can be proud to own and display in their home.

passion for fine architecture, for life-stories, for nature, for beauty
in every form. The authors perceive fine architecture as living spaces,
living entities that are constantly evolving and changing, thanks to their
owners’ personal imprint and personal tastes. They are real Living
Art, continually transforming itself under the dedicated care of their
keepers – 31 unique treasures awaiting your discovery.
Early comment
on this book:
"It is a very special pleasure for me to recommend
this book: my family have been in the eastern Caribbean since the 1820’s,
and my wife and I have a lovely home in Grenada – although we do
not spend as much time in it as we would wish! The hugely varied and individual
buildings are one of the most striking features of life in the Caribbean.
This book captures their vibrant colours, the wide variety of cultural
heritages and the many different architectural styles.
The authors’ passion for the Caribbean shines though on every page.
The character of the lightly written stories, combined with the superb
photography, creates a light and joyful reading experience full of the
Caribbean sun.
