Strategic Location

Guyana - The Rising Star of South America

Located on the north-east shoulder of South America, Guyana is the only country on the continent where English is the mother tongue. Classified culturally as part of the Caribbean, it shares a beautiful tropical climate with the islands of the southern Caribbean.

Natural Paradise

Completely zoned out of hazardous natural phenomena such as hurricanes, tsunamis, and volcanoes. This paradise is home to the world's greatest biodiversity and is amply endowed with rich natural resources, making it a perfect magnet for immigration and eco-tourism.

Infrastructure Development Hub

The Corentyne coastline is slated for huge infrastructural development over the next decade, leveraging wealth generated from oil, agriculture, and logistics. Located midway between Guyana's capital Georgetown and Suriname's capital Paramaribo (each approximately 100 miles away).

Context-Specific Design for Coastal Guyana

Paddy Ponds Water Management

The "Paddy Ponds" - Sustainable Drainage System

This critical element honors the former rice paddy landscape through a series of interconnected ponds, swales, and canals. Not just aesthetic, it's a resilient stormwater management system designed for a low-lying, coastal, high-rainfall tropical climate.

The system collects, stores, and slowly releases rainwater, mitigating flooding and improving water quality. Waterway edges feature manicured lawns with wooden retaining walls for erosion protection.

Elevated Construction

Homes will be built on raised foundations, a traditional and wise architectural response to the coastal Guyanese environment. This protects homes from potential flooding and improves natural ventilation.

Organic Layout

The curvilinear road layout provides traffic calming, enhances aesthetic appeal, and creates more interesting and varied lot frontages compared to a simple grid.
