A One-Bedroom Island Guest House
Bale Maker’s Long Island Project in the Bahamas
A one-bedroom island guest house is the subject of Bale
Maker’s Long Island project in the Bahamas. Built for Michelle Rickman and
Jason Whitaker, the home is identified in the project description as the Brazil
Mist II MR model.
The Long Island Guest House project profile documents the commission, its hurricane-related requirements, and subsequent developments in Bale Maker’s regional activities.
Building Requirements for the Bahamas Project
According to Bale Maker, the house needed to be built and
rated against Miami-Dade County building codes for hurricane resistance.
This describes the requirements reported for this particular
project. It should not be treated as a statement of the requirements for every
new home in the Bahamas.
Bale Maker’s Account of Hurricane Irene
Bale Maker reports that the house remained undamaged during
Hurricane Irene in August 2011, while surrounding homes were destroyed. The
project account describes the storm affecting the Bahamas and the eastern
United States.
This is Bale Maker’s account of the building’s experience
during that event, rather than a guarantee of performance in future storms.
A Regional Connection in the West Indies
The account also records Michelle Rickman’s appointment as
Bale Maker’s West Indies representative following its first home in the region
and further enquiries. It describes her construction background and completed
training in Bale Maker’s building designs and systems.
