ZED created a modern, sleek home that blends into the landscape of the Alwen Group's pristine estate in Layou, Dominica, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The off-grid home, Alwen's Promise, will serve as an eco-inn in Dominica's flourishing eco-tourism industry and act as a prototype for sustainable development in the rest of the Caribbean. The design introduces high-technology and modern amenities to a developing country, yet blends in with the local architectural vernacular.
