3. Utilization of indigenous materials and plant palettes – Plantings and associated walls, landscape structures, and details are to principally draw from the indigenous materials, architectural aesthetics and plant palettes of the Caribbean Islands. Tropical, drought tolerant plantings that are suited to the island’s relatively dry southern region and adapted to the specific micro-climates of the varied physical settings are preferred.
4. Capture and preserve view corridors – Views to the harbour, marina, ocean, beach, and hillsides may need to be maintained and enhanced by utilizing appropriate vegetation and landscape solutions that blend buildings, site walls, and driveways into
the surroundings and direct views to reinforce prominent view corridors.
