GUAVABERRY
ST. JOHN, U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS
PROJECT STATUS | COMPLETED
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The owners sought to create saleable home sites near their property at Guavaberry Farms. The original subdivision plan ignored the site’s low elevations and natural hydrology linking it to the Gri Gri freshwater pond, raising risks of flooding and water contamination that made traditional septic systems unfeasible.
DEVELOPMENT PLANS AND GUIDELINES
We prepared a subdivision plan with defined lot lines, easements, and designated access and parking areas, confining building envelopes to specific portions of each lot. An overall framework of landscape easements and setbacks—enforceable through owner-controlled architectural approvals—was established to ensure privacy, protect views, and preserve the central drainage corridor as common open space. We also provided guidance on zoning, soil and fill requirements, and developed building concepts and approval regulations to direct future home construction.
