Ideas + Innovation
Exploring better ways to design and build in Turks & Caicos — from new materials and technologies to smarter construction methods and the ideas shaping the future of island living.
Here we share what we're learning, exploring and putting into practice at SKAPE, along with perspectives on design, construction and life in the Caribbean.
Durability is the name of the game when building in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Building standards and codes vary worldwide, often because of weather and geological considerations in the region. For example, the Turks & Caicos Islands enjoy objectively perfect weather year-round. Still, occasionally, tropical storms and hurricanes threaten or hit the islands. As a result, building codes require robust materials and best-practice construction methods.
