As is the sun, the wind in Barbados is ever-present. Typically blowing east to west, the trade winds temper the sun’s blistering heat with a refreshing breeze. Each room at Barefoot Leaf is designed to capture a cross breeze through the space as the home’s primary source of cooling. The sound of the wind, as well as the waves, are a constant reminder that you are on Barbados beachfront as opposed to in a tightly sealed mechanically ventilated and conditioned home that could exist in any location on the globe.

Barbados shaped Barefoot Leaf. Barefoot Leaf will shape your experience of Barbados. The sights, the sounds, the sun’s heat, the refuge of the shade, the breeze, the sound of the sea, the sounds of the neighboring church on Sunday, the clacking and banging of a dominoes game at the neighboring fish market will all combine to be part of your experience. The hope is that you will not simply visit Barbados but rather, at least for a brief time, experience living in Barbados.
