Building & Design
A disused Jamaican produce shed becomes a modest live-work compound, showing how adaptive reuse can preserve useful structures while creating homes and livelihoods.
A compact urban house explores stack ventilation through a carefully engineered, storm-closable roof chimney rather than relying on bigger windows alone.
A compact starter house designed for planned expansion offers a practical alternative to unfinished additions and improvised construction.
The Solar Lane rethinks Jamaican starter housing as a short, walkable row of attached homes, with shared shade, practical service access and solar-ready roofs.
A tall shaded ventilation tower rises above a modest Jamaican courtyard home, turning the movement of air into its most visible architectural feature.
The Ravine Bridge House turns difficult Jamaican terrain into architecture, spanning a natural gully between two solid anchors instead of flattening the hillside beneath it.
The Trelawny Municipal Corporation has opened a four-month amnesty, running to 31 January 2027, for owners of buildings put up without approved plans, joining a string of parishes pushing homeowners to regularise before enforcement.
The Foundry Yard Lofts reimagines an old Jamaican industrial shell as live-work housing, keeping its masonry, steel and patina while inserting new homes around a shared urban yard.
The Rain Tree Canopy House breaks the home into small pavilions gathered beneath one sweeping roof, making shade, airflow and the existing grove the architecture.
