10 Must-Have Features For Your Barbados Vacation Home

With its pristine beaches, vibrant culture, and stunning landscapes, Barbados is the perfect destination for a dream vacation home. Whether you’re considering a beachfront villa or a serene hillside escape, designing and building your Barbados vacation home requires careful planning and consideration.

This blog post explores the 10 must-have features that will transform your Barbados Vacation Home into the ultimate Caribbean retreat.

1 Breathtaking Views:

Barbados is renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty, so it’s essential to capitalize on the stunning views. Incorporate expansive windows, balconies, or a rooftop terrace to maximize your connection with the picturesque surroundings. Enjoy mesmerizing sunsets, gentle ocean breezes, and panoramic vistas that will awe you and your guests.

2 Outdoor Living Spaces:

Embrace the Caribbean lifestyle by creating inviting outdoor living spaces. Design a covered spacious patio, veranda, or outdoor kitchen where you can relax, entertain guests, and enjoy alfresco dining. Consider adding a swimming pool, lush gardens, or private beach access to enhance your outdoor oasis. These features will provide endless opportunities for relaxation and make your vacation home truly special.

3 Open Floor Plans:

Opt for open floor plans to create a sense of spaciousness and allow for easy flow. This design concept integrates living, dining, and kitchen areas, creating a seamless and social atmosphere. The open layout also maximizes natural light, making your vacation home feel bright, airy, and welcoming.

4 Modern Kitchen and Dining Area:

The kitchen is the heart of any home, and your vacation retreat should be no exception. Invest in a modern, well-equipped kitchen with high-quality appliances, ample storage, and a stylish island or breakfast bar. An adjoining dining area that can comfortably accommodate your guests will add elegance to your vacation home.

5 Luxurious Bedrooms and Bathrooms:

Retreat to your luxurious bedrooms and bathrooms after a day of exploration and relaxation. Create spacious, comfortable bedrooms with plush bedding, soothing colour palettes, and ample storage. Incorporate en-suite bathrooms with high-end fixtures, elegant finishes, and indulgent amenities such as double vanities, rain showers or soaking tubs for the ultimate relaxation experience.

6 Home Office or Study:

A dedicated home office or study area is a must for those who wish to combine work and play. Incorporate a functional workspace with a desk, comfortable seating, and adequate storage. Ensure a reliable internet connection to stay connected while enjoying the serenity of your vacation home.

7 Entertainment and Media Room:

Create a space where you can unwind and enjoy quality time with family and friends. An entertainment and media room equipped with a large flat-screen TV, surround sound system, and comfortable seating will provide the perfect setting for movie nights, gaming sessions, or catching up on your favourite shows.

8 Fitness and Wellness Facilities:

Maintain a healthy lifestyle during your Caribbean getaway by incorporating fitness and wellness facilities. Consider a home gym, a yoga studio, or even a spa area with a sauna or steam room. These features will ensure that you and your guests can prioritize health and well-being while enjoying your vacation home.

9 Embrace Sustainability:

In today’s world, sustainability is more important than ever, and incorporating eco-friendly features into your vacation home in Barbados is a wise decision. Not only will it reduce your environmental impact, but it will also enhance your property’s overall appeal and value.

Consider implementing solar panels to harness the abundant Caribbean sunshine and power your home. Install energy-efficient appliances, LED lighting, and smart home systems that optimize energy usage. Incorporate rainwater harvesting systems to irrigate your gardens and minimize water waste. By prioritizing sustainability, you contribute to preserving Barbados’ natural beauty and creating a greener future for generations to come.

10 Keep Cool Naturally and Artificially:

Barbados is known for its warm climate, so it’s important to incorporate features that will help keep your vacation home cool and comfortable. First, consider natural ventilation by strategically placing large windows to allow for cross breezes. This will promote airflow and keep the interior naturally cool. Additionally, incorporate shade structures such as pergolas, awnings, or verandas to protect your outdoor living spaces from direct sunlight.

For artificial cooling, invest in an energy-efficient air conditioning system that can maintain a comfortable temperature indoors, especially during the hot summer months. Opt for units with high energy efficiency ratings to minimize electricity consumption and reduce environmental impact. Consider zoned cooling systems that allow you to control temperatures in specific areas, ensuring optimal comfort while reducing energy usage.

To further enhance cooling efficiency, explore the option of ceiling fans throughout your vacation home. Ceiling fans create a gentle breeze that helps circulate air and create a more comfortable environment, allowing you to rely less on air conditioning.

By incorporating both natural and artificial cooling features, you can balance sustainability and comfort, ensuring a pleasant stay in your Barbadian retreat while minimizing energy consumption.

Designing and building your vacation home in Barbados is an exciting endeavour. By incorporating these must-have features, you can create the ultimate Caribbean retreat that offers relaxation, luxury, and a memorable experience for you, your family, and your guests.

From embracing the stunning views to providing ample outdoor living spaces and incorporating modern amenities, your vacation home will be a true haven in paradise. Get ready to indulge in the beauty and tranquillity of Barbados with your dream vacation home.

Swimming pool maintenance

5 Pool Maintenance Tips for Barbados

When you build or purchase a home in Barbados, the dream (nearly) always includes owning a swimming pool. The opportunity to take a cooling dip at any time of day, watch the kids play or relax while listening to the water is an enduring fantasy for many.

Of course, in most cases, you’ll use the services of a professional pool cleaner to ensure that the water is pristine and safe and the pool is protected and looking its best.

However, if you’re new to swimming pool ownership, there are still some essential maintenance tips you need to know so you can look after your pool and protect the people who use it – especially in the heat of a tropical summer. Not to mention avoiding any additional upkeep.

Top 5 Swimming Pool Maintenance Tips

Pool maintenence

1 Checking the pool’s circulation

Proper circulation in a pool help maintain its cleanliness and clarity, but it’s essential for the upkeep of a swimming pool in hot temperatures.

It is advised that you run your primary pump anywhere from eight to 12 hours per day. This time range is different depending on the kind of pool you have. For example, you may need to run the pump for even more extended periods if you have a salt system. This is because the salt system will not function unless the pump runs simultaneously.

2 Focus on Filtration

Skimmer baskets, the pump basket, and the filter need to be cleaned regularly and kept debris free. In addition, check to see that your filter is functioning correctly, and always remember to give it a backwash every so often (or cleaned).

3 Brush, brush and then brush again

Brushing helps prevent algae from becoming established, so while many dread it, it is crucial, especially in hot temperatures. Focus on low circulation areas such as pool steps, benches and corners.

Brushing two to three times a week rather than the usual one will prevent any algae from growing. It will also avoid more expensive future maintenance if the algae are left untreated.

Pool chemistry

4 Skimming the surface

While the weather in Barbados can be hot, there is usually an accompanying island breeze that can cause debris from plants and trees to fall into the pool. These decomposing materials can cause algae to develop.

It’s recommended that you increase the number of times you skim your pool to stay on top of its upkeep. Try to skim early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid the hottest times of the day.

5 Increase your chemistry level checks

The sun can be rather harmful to the concentration of chlorine present in your pool water. This is because chlorine can break down in just two hours and be dissipated by the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays.

When it comes to preventing algae growth, this is a significant obstacle. However, you can combat this by chemical testing more frequently and ensuring your chlorine levels remain at optimum levels.

During the summer heat, you might want to use a preventative algaecide.

Key pool chemistry indicators

  • Cyanuric acid between 30 and 50 ppm
  • Chlorine between 2.0 and 4.0 ppm
  • pH between 7.2 and 7.6
  • The salt content in a salt pool between 2700 and 3500 ppm.
  • Alkalinity between 80 and 100 for calcium hypochlorite, salt, and liquid chlorine pools
  • 100 to 120 for pools containing dichlor and trichlor
  • Calcium hardness between 200 to 400 ppm

When dealing with swimming pools in warm weather, the most important thing to remember is to keep the pH at the appropriate level. For example, when the pH is at 7.2, chlorine, including salt pools, is much more effective than when it is at 7.6; therefore, you should strive to maintain a pH in the lower half of the range (7.2 to 7.4).

Berkan Directors receive National Humanitarian Award

Berkan Construction Directors Adam McDermott and Tomas Niklasson have received the National Humanitarian Award for the company’s work during the COVID pandemic.

 

On National Heroes Day, Minister of Health and Wellness Ian Gooding-Edghill thanked thousands of frontline workers who worked hard to keep Barbados safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Prime Minister Mia Mottley, the Right Excellent Sir Garfield Sobers, Members of Parliament, and members of the public were special guests for the first Humanitarian Awards Ceremony. The event took place at the Kensington Oval.

 

Gooding-Edghill praised individuals who earned accolades. He said that “we as a nation would be far worse off in our still unfinished fight against the threat of the COVID-19 virus” if it weren’t for their selfless efforts.

 

“So that while you may not be deemed National Heroes, you have unconsciously, but undoubtedly, defined yourself as heroes to the nation,” he said.

 

“We in the Ministry of Health and Wellness salute and celebrate the honourees in our still unfinished national series against COVID-19, which we are confident will not result in a draw, far less a defeat, but in an eventual decisive victory for our beloved native land,” he added.

 

National Humanitarian Day
Humanitarian Lapel Pins were presented on behalf of a grateful people

 

Gooding-Edghill also praised Ghebreyesus for his “continued passionate and confident global leadership at the World Health Organisation, which continues to leave an indelible mark on the global community, especially during this COVID-19 phase”.

 

Mottley, former Minister of Health, The Right Honorable Jeffrey Bostic, members of his team, and people from all sectors were thanked for their contributions in helping Barbados weather the storm during those first two years of uncertainty.

 

The Freedom of Barbados Award, the Gold Award of Achievement, Humanitarian Service Medals, Humanitarian Plaques, and Humanitarian Lapel Pins were presented on behalf of a grateful people.

Open floor plan
By Emily Collins Architects • Barbados • Construction • Interior Design • Renovation • • 0 Comments

Is an open floor plan right for you?

Watch any HGTV show today, and the open concept or open plan layout is the design of choice for modern interior designers. And it is now a common choice for homeowners too who are busy opening their homes, removing internal walls and combining spaces such as the kitchen, living room and dining room.

Of course, open-plan layouts are not new. They have been around for centuries when everyone lived in one small room, around a fireplace, including the animals. However, our current understanding of an open floor plan was introduced in the latter 1900s with architects like Frank Lloyd Wright.

So, when it comes to designing your new Barbados home, should you opt for an open concept floor plan, or are several smaller rooms the better option?

Cross ventilation

This works best to keep your home cool when there is an unobstructed path for air to flow from one end to the other. So an open concept will definitely help with the movement of air through your house and passive cooling.

Improved natural lighting

Natural light can reach further into your home without light-blocking walls, making it feel larger, airier and brighter – and improving your mood!

Greater connection with outdoors

This is a trend that we’ll see increasingly more of during 2022. Known as biophilic design, incorporating nature in your home has a wealth of mental health benefits. And it looks great too. 

Open floor plans make connecting with the natural environment much more accessible than with alternative partitioned options. For example, your living space, dining area and kitchen can connect directly with a patio or terrace. 

Make everything feel larger

When rooms are partitioned by walls, they can feel small and dark. However, an open floor plan can make the spaces allocated to different home areas feel larger and lighter with a greater sense of space.

Greater flexibility

Without the limits of walls and partitions and no awkward spaces, you can arrange your furniture and areas with greater flexibility. And change them according to your needs at the time.

With the recent increase in working (and schooling) from home, open plan layouts have allowed spaces to perform multiple tasks. For example, dining and living areas can now act as a schoolroom, gym and office. 

Brings everyone together

An open floor plan creates multi-functional spaces where living and being together becomes effortless. It also makes entertaining more manageable, especially when you have direct access to your terrace or patio. 

Adds value to your home

Thanks to the TV shows, a home with an open floor plan is more visually appealing and considered more desirable and will sell for more than those with lots of smaller rooms. 

Open floor plan

Of course, there are some disadvantages to the open floor plan layout you should consider when designing your Barbados home.

Lack of privacy

Without walls, there is the potential for a lack of privacy. Whether they want to or not, everyone in the home is involved with what is happening in the main living space.

Sound transmission

Alongside the reduction in privacy is the increase in sound transmission – especially when there are children in the house.

Mess and smells

An open floor plan means there are fewer places to hide your clutter! With lots of areas in clear view, it’s essential to have everything cleared away, or the whole space looks untidy and messy. No walls and doors in the kitchen also mean there are no scent barriers!

This also means that cooking smells reach every area of the open-plan space, studying and office work may be disrupted by children playing and entertaining can be difficult if the kids want to watch TV.

There are several reasons to choose an open floor plan for your Barbados house – increased cooling, better lighting and an increased feeling of space.

However, if you have a family, they can be noisy and messy, and you might want to include an additional space to ensure some privacy for specific tasks. Discuss your options with your architect so that your property gives you all the pros of open-plan living while you can manage any of the cons.

Building your home in Barbados

4 tips for building your Barbados house

Building your home in Barbados is an exciting time. Not only do you have the opportunity to live in this beautiful country, but you get to live in a house of your design.

While there is no magic formula, some tips simplify the process, especially if you are not on the island during the build. 

1 Be flexible from the start

We don’t want to start with a negative but rather a dose of realism. Despite everyone’s best efforts, things will go amiss during the build. Suppliers will deliver the wrong products, and tiles will break, cables cut accidentally, permits delayed. However, patience, understanding and acceptance that this will happen will cut your stress levels when it does – and make the process more enjoyable.

2 Planning, planning, planning

Put in the time in the beginning to plan your project. Work out precisely what you want, your must-haves and non-negotiables. Think about your nice-to-haves. Can you afford them? Importantly plan your budget, so there are no surprises or disappointments later in the build.

3 Hire the right people to support you

Understanding construction cost estimates or Barbados’ building regulations can be daunting if you have no building knowledge. However, while bringing different professions on board during your build adds to the overall budget, it will pay off in terms of time, energy, stress and even money in the long term.

Architect

Your chosen architect will be your first point of reference. Not only will they design your home to your specifications, budget, structural limitations, and in line with building regulations, they will also manage planning permissions and any other permits. They can also liaise with an engineer.

Visit the Barbados Institute of Architects or speak with the team at Berkan Construction who can help.

Contractor

Selecting the right contractor for your budget is key to its success. You need to hire not just on price alone – but make sure they have a passion for their work, have the necessary qualifications, have an eye for detail and understand your vision. Always ask for references, visit some of their projects.

Berkan Construction makes the construction process as painless as possible by offering complete general contracting services, including site clearing, grading of land, and maintaining existing and erecting new structures related to building construction and maintenance.

In addition, the team offers commitment at all levels of a building project, from preparing for construction to construction management services. As a result, they successfully meet clients demands for cost-effective and responsive services.

Architect project manager

Project Manager

Unless you are prepared to be on-site daily and understand the building process, planning and budgets, you need to employ a project manager. The role of the project manager is diverse, covering:

  • Managing the contractor
  • Ensuring the build is following the plan
  • Checking costs and orders
  • Following up deliveries
  • Keeping everything on schedule
  • Liaising with local teams

A good project manager will keep your build on schedule, on budget and safe from unscrupulous people who can jeopardise your dream.

Berkan Construction can provide this service for you. They provide overall planning, coordination and control of a project, so you don’t have to worry about anything.

Interior Designer

Don’t leave appointing an interior designer to the end of the project. Bringing a designer in at the early stages can save compromises and additional costs later on. 

Knowing where you will place your dining table and sofa means you can place your electrical sockets in the right place. The colours, materials and style of your open-plan kitchen will have an impact on your entire living space. Without knowing the overall style of your new home, how can you choose flooring? And, knowing what type of window coverings you want will determine the type of windows and doors you install. 

Use professional services

Before you sign, always use a lawyer to draw up your contracts and ensure you understand and agree with every aspect, including payments and liability.

And make sure you have construction insurance in place just in case mistakes happen. It will give you great peace of mind even if you don’t need it during your build.

4 Budget for the interior

Many house builders are so focused on building a beautiful home on the outside, and they don’t allocate a sufficient budget for the interior. This isn’t just for the kitchen and bathrooms but flooring, paint, lighting, furnishing, window treatments and all the little things that make a home.  

If you are thinking of building a home in Barbados and need help and guidance, then contact the team at Berkan Construction. They will be more than happy to discuss your project and answer any questions you might have.

Tips for environmentally friendly building in Barbados
By Emily Collins Architects • Barbados • Construction • General Information • Project Management • Renovation • Tips and Tricks • • • 0 Comments

Environmentally-friendly construction in Barbados

In a recent Facebook post, we considered ways that you can make your Barbados build as environmentally-friendly as possible. Not only is an eco-approach good for the island, but it is also good for your wallet in the long term.

In this article, we thought we’d cover some of these points in further detail to help you with ideas to discuss with your architect and your construction team. At Berkan Construction we try to be as environmentally aware and sustainable as possible, so give us a call if you’d like to discuss this further.

Being environmentally sensitive in your house build or renovation isn’t just a personal choice anymore. The impact of climate change, increasing energy costs and the desire to build sensitively to minimize the impact of development all play their part.

Building and renovating in a sustainable way means:

  • Focusing on the efficient use of materials
  • Improving energy usage
  • Considering indoor air quality
  • Lowering emissions
  • Enhancing surrounding ecosystems

What about the costs?

Building sustainable property does not need to cost more than using traditional construction techniques. Moreover, once installed, lower operating and maintenance costs help recover any higher initial costs in as little as five years.

As green technologies develop and more homeowners make this choice, sustainable homes are becoming more viable as costs decrease. Indeed, reports in the US show that the average premium for green buildings in the US is slightly less than 2 per cent.

However, to achieve these savings you need an integrated approach to the house build covering the architect, contractor and other professionals.

It’s all in the planning and design

Ikigai Consulting has some great design ideas for building sustainably in the Caribbean. They include:

1 Before building new, consider renovation or remodelling. Homeowners can make significant savings on time, labour, materials, energy, and approvals.

2 When building from new, consider recycled and reclaimed building materials including discarded shipping containers, timber, stone, and metal sheeting.

3 Offset construction costs by collecting and reselling any unused materials.

4 Plan how to manage stormwater using permeable pavers, gravel pathways, green roofing and open grid systems.

5 Landscape areas across the site using native plants, trees and scrubs and avoid decorative lawns that require more water, chemicals and care.

6 If suitable for your Caribbean location, consider a rainwater harvesting system for non-potable purposes such as toilets.

7 Use lighter colours and solar reflective paints on the outside of your build to reduce mechanical cooling costs.

8 Consider building a smaller home that is more space-efficient. Not only is it cheaper to build, your ongoing maintenance and operating costs will be reduced and the environmental impact lessened.

9 A simple, open layout will reduce material, improve air circulation and increase natural lighting.

10 Use standardized dimensions rather than customised designs to optimize materials and reduce waste.

11 Make sure that the property is orientated not just for the view but for maximum airflow.

12 Ask your architect to incorporate large, operable, energy-efficient windows to allow more natural light and air into the property.

13 Install solar reflective films and tints to reduce solar gain and cooling costs.

14 Consider non-mechanical cooling techniques such as solar shades, elevated ground floors, evaporative cooling and solar chimneys.

15 Ask your contractor to increase the eaves around the property to reduce how much sun falls on the exterior walls.

16 Install low flow fixtures to conserve municipal water supplies and costs.

17 Choose LED fixtures and fittings to reduce your electricity costs. These are widely available in Barbados.

18 Install energy-efficient ceiling fans, appliances and equipment.

19 Install solar panels to reduce energy costs.
