Mr. Burnside’s preferred style of universal design, and the culture of the Bahamas are to be incorporated into the suitable areas of his loft and rentable apartments. True Bahamas island culture will be conveyed in the loft using accents of color among more neutral colors. Just as the bright, festive, tribal culture contrasts the peaceful white sands and blue waters of the beach, the high chroma colors juxtaposed with the subtle neutrals will also create a visual contrast in the interiors. The use of warm natural lighting and the highest quality f inishes, furnishings, and products, will create a relaxing and inviting environment.
