Approaching this family home located at the top of a hill in Hope Town, Bahamas, you’d be forgiven for thinking it had stood here for generations thanks to its weathered clapboard frontage and green shutters.

But disaster struck when Hurricane Dorian hit the island, leaving the near-completed house severely damaged. ‘It was an emotional time,’ says its American interior architect Andrew Howard. ‘But the storm made us re-evaluate everything. There is something humbling when you have to start again – we were determined to make it even more joyful.’
