From first survey to final detail, Anika's series is a working method for building on a small, exposed island — what to leave open, what to brace, and how to listen to a ridge before drawing on it.

The Notes
Anika's practice is built on a single conviction: to build on Barbados is to build for the wind. Her ridge-line houses have quietly become a template for the next generation of Caribbean architects.
The seven reels move from first site visit to handover. The included drawing pack is a working sheet — not a portfolio piece — and the site-analysis checklist is the same one Anika hands new hires on day one.
