Contemporary Villa

Emoyeni, the 6,000-square-foot residence comprising four bedrooms features a melange of cultures and styles. The main porch have the deep overhangs and sturdy Tuscan columns of French West Indies and Louisiana Creole plantation houses; in the living room, massive high ceiling exposed rafters and tough and groove boarding finished with natural linseed boil oil. The oversized doors with low level glass louvers for vents help in the cooling system of the building, the fanlight above the side entrance door, and the millwork within refer to the American Style; the concrete design trims below the roof line resemble Spanish colonial architecture.
The interiors have a continental French style, injecting a refined, cosmopolitan element. There are a variety of woods in the interior, including finely milled details, painted rough-cut beams, and unpainted purple heart treader.
The designer’s vision was that the house resemble an old West Indian plantation that had grown and changed over time. To create that effect, the two wings that stand alongside the main entrance look as if they were once freestanding structures. The varying heights and materials of the two wings create the illusion that they may have been built at different times.
