New York painter, Kikuo Saito, needed an escape from his Soho studio. Inspired by the colors and climate of the Caribbean, Kikuo asked us to design a simple tropical retreat with a long walking corridor. Evoking monastic ambulatories of southern Spain, the walkway is along the northern edge, enclosed by a chevron of decorative concrete block. The soft gray concrete exterior walls allow the bright red jalousie windows to play against verdant surroundings.
