Coast Architects and D’Amico Design Associates (DADA) have taken the crisp lines and contemporary aesthetic found at Gansevoort Turks + Caicos and reimagined it into five recently launched four- and five-bedroom oceanfront villas. Located on the spectacular southern shore of Providenciales in an area known as Turtle Tail, owners will enjoy the privacy of a luxury oceanfront villa, with the amenities of a modern beachside resort.

The cedar-clad front facade features one of the home’s defining design elements: a cantilevered gable that appears to float over the garage. The project is composed of two unique forms, divergent in convention but complementary in execution. A traditional gable, simplified and modernized, sits next to a striking modernist cube. A custom entry gate fabricated by Dovetail’s metal shop and a steel privacy fence add color to the front elevation.
The house's "traditional" feel, Koolhaas says, is "only as thick as the layer of wood on the outside." When entering, the eyes travel straight back through the massive windows to the green yard beyond. "It appears as though there is no house behind the facade, like the houses on a movie set," he says.
