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 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.
