Step out and explore the best of Barbados from a prime location The space This cozy, modern-yet-traditional retreat is a unique combination of contemporary comforts with traditional post-emancipation architectural "chattel house" style: African Barbadians needed affordable movable houses since they often lived on rented land, so chattel houses were designed on stilted structures that sat on top of coral stone or wooden blocks to be portable if they were evicted from the land. Chattel houses became a Barbadian symbol of freedom and resilience, innovation in design and a cultural icon that still dots the landscape to this day in rural and urban areas. The legacy of chattel houses is enduring and still relevant because of their compact size and environmental footprint, commonly vibrantly coloured to help preserve the wood but also to express Bajan creativity.
