OVERYONDER CAY

Location: Exuma Bahamas

Client: Undisclosed

Project Scope: Master Planning with detailed design throughout, full time on-site Construction Administration & Project Management. Over 150 trips were made to the island over its start of construction through its opening and operations for the client.

Project Summary: The 72-acre island has been tastefully transformed into a dramatic showplace for stunning architectural design and cutting-edge green energy technology. The landscape design approach was to comply with the environment report prepared in conjunction with a harmonious design of natural hard and softscapes throughout the island. The landscape was a huge challenge using existing vegetation and importing native and non-native vegetation on an island with harsh conditions and strategic use of water. Drought tolerant and Florida Friendly principles were applied within the plant palette selection and design. Integrating on-island hardscapes and imported natural stones fused the landscape in creating this natural paradise. Propelled by the concepts of human and natural renewal, 100% of the normal power needs are met by wind and solar energy.  Voted most outstanding landscape in 2015 by the FNGLA (Florida nursery and growers landscape association).  Over yonder Cay received 5 awards in 3 categories for new installation and environmentally sustainability.
