What Should a Tropical Villa Design Prioritise?

Prioritise shade, cross-ventilation, deep roof overhangs, rain protection, durable materials, drainage, insect control, service access and outdoor spaces that remain usable in both hot and wet weather. Orient bedrooms and glazing thoughtfully, provide covered routes between parking and entry, and make plant rooms accessible. A beautiful open-plan design should still protect against driven rain and humidity. Put specifications, permissions, milestones and remedies into the contract rather than relying on verbal assurances. A good follow-up compares the examples with what is current and decision-relevant.
