“I have my own houses in the islands and I applaud the effort that must have gone into achieving what India and David have created. The seductive combination of international lives, classic British good taste (including its eccentricities), and the traditions and flavour of the Caribbean - cannot fail to inspire anyone who has the good fortune to land here.”
— Ralph Lauren
on HARBOUR ISLAND
The Guest House
The Guest House was designed by India Hicks, daughter of famed British interior decorator David Hicks, and her husband David Flint Wood. The house, built in 1999 by local carpenters and craftsmen in the style of an old Caribbean plantation house, is set in a grove of
coconut trees.
The Cricket Pavilion
The Cricket Pavilion is a 2,000 sq. foot, studio style house. The outside is the classical English architecture of the islands and based on an old club house that David and India found hidden away in the south of Eleuthera. With a long broad terrace, and its oblique view of the ocean, it is set back from a quiet track to the beach.
King’s Treat
The house on King’s Street sits in the historic part of Dunmore Town, with views of the harbour, the sunset and the Fishermen's Dock. It stands in a large walled garden with verandahs that are shaded by palm trees to the west, with an outdoor staircase and galleried terraces sheltered from the sun and the street by louvered panels and a in-ground pool.

SAVANNAH
David Hicks, Britain's foremost interior designer of the 60's and 70's, brought an essence of the Nile Valley to this residence on the Bahamian Island of Eleuthera. His design alludes to the clean cubism of the Egyptian temple of King Zoser. Its storm-safe concrete-block walls are coated with plaster mixed with honey-colored lime stone dust, textured with seashells.
