What is Restoring Caribbean Vernacular Architecture about?
This document summarizes a restoration architecture and masonry project. It describes a wooden building supported by concrete columns and a roof truss that was designed to withstand the tropical climate. The roof truss is an exact replica of the original built using green hardwood without nails or screws. Limestone was gathered from a demolished hill and used in the building, mixed with water and yellow ochre pigment and applied annually due to its easy removal compared to concrete.
