Rum point house was to be ultra-contemporary therefore it was important that the building would sit harmoniously alongside the surrounding area and in the site adjacent to the sea; the house was designed to give an impression of floating, like a boat at sea. The design also needed to comply to the current regulations and be hurricane, storm surge proof and efficient through the longevity of lifetime materials to a high specification making this a robust and well thought through the build.

The entrance elevation is solid, closed from views from the public road and with an open entrance area. Side walls are angled at 11.5 degrees to create overhangs for design aesthetic and solar shading purposes. The extravagant house has a roof terrace as party deck with a covered bar and lounge area allowing for panoramic views around the island and sea, as well as a vanishing edge pool located to the back of the building next to the beach.

The southeast facing elevation is mainly solid to protect from the sun, but the north-eastern elevation is open to the beach allowing for unspoiled views towards the sea.
