A restrained single-storey pavilion is set lightly on a timber platform that extends directly into the Caribbean shoreline, dissolving the boundary between interior and sea. The structure employs a flat cantilevered roof with deep overhangs, floor-to-ceiling glazing, and a compact steel frame wrapped in vertical cladding to create a refined, weather-resistant envelope. The deck functions as both circulation and threshold, mediating sand, water, and architecture in one continuous plane. Internally, the layout is organised as an open-plan volume oriented toward uninterrupted ocean views, prioritising transparency and controlled exposure to coastal elements. This is a conceptual exploration of minimal coastal living within a tropical context.
