St. Kitts Biological Research Foundation, in St Kitts, West Indies, is a project to create a science facility that weaves together a brand new modernist building (designed by Sander Architects) with pre-existing vernacular and historical buildings on the site.

A 300-year-old cotton storage building has been repurposed with modern insertions designed by the firm to enclose the roof and create interior spaces destined to become study and living areas for the scientists. The new construction links this building to a lab, built in the local vernacular, and provides a variety of spaces required for the science facility.

The roof systems use our hybrid house technology and is designed to withstand the exigencies of extreme weather (hurricane winds and torrential rain.)

11,000sf
$40/sf estimated construction cost - reflects low local building costs.

Images and details will be added as this project progresses.

This is one of our projects that uses Hybrid House: part prefab, all custom(tm) technology.
