[\/dfd_heading][vc_column_text]Translating Curacao’s natural beauty Even though Curacao became an independent country in 2010, it has retained much of its Dutch culture, so much so that the \u201cDutch pensionata,\u201d much like Northern Snowbirds, escape every winter to the Island’s tropical climate. So for Indigo Garden, a complex of 89\u00a0 Since the two-bedroom homes are fairly small, they boast an open layout, where Caribbean plantation house-inspired shutter sliding doors open onto landscaped outdoor gardens. \u00ab\u00a0It creates a natural flow between indoor and outdoor, thus allowing the guests the illusion of increased outdoor living and greater communication with nature,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n Development and Management Company: Blue Bay Curacao www.pmadesign.com; wonen.bluebay-curacao.com[\/vc_column_text][dfd_spacer screen_wide_spacer_size=\u00a0\u00bb30″ screen_normal_resolution=\u00a0\u00bb1024″ screen_tablet_resolution=\u00a0\u00bb800″ screen_mobile_resolution=\u00a0\u00bb480″][dfd_simple_image_gallery dfd_layer_image=\u00a0\u00bb23315,23316,23318,23319″ items_offset=\u00a0\u00bb20″ image_width=\u00a0\u00bb900″ isotope_columns=\u00a0\u00bb2″ images_style=\u00a0\u00bbmasonry\u00a0\u00bb][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row][vc_column][dfd_single_image enable_retina=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb image=\u00a0\u00bb23223″][dfd_spacer screen_wide_spacer_size=\u00a0\u00bb60″ screen_normal_resolution=\u00a0\u00bb1024″ screen_tablet_resolution=\u00a0\u00bb800″ screen_mobile_resolution=\u00a0\u00bb480″][dfd_heading subtitle=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb content_alignment=\u00a0\u00bbtext-left\u00a0\u00bb delimiter_settings=\u00a0\u00bbdelimiter_style:solid|delimiter_width:80|delimiter_height:1″ undefined=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb title_font_options=\u00a0\u00bbtag:h2″ subtitle_font_options=\u00a0\u00bbtag:div\u00a0\u00bb] ISLAND FEVER [\/dfd_heading][vc_column_text]Translating Curacao’s natural beauty By Joy Gettis Photography courtesy of Patricia McClintock & Associ\u00e9s Inc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":23315,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[71],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pmadesign.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23314"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pmadesign.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pmadesign.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pmadesign.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pmadesign.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23314"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/www.pmadesign.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23314\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23744,"href":"https:\/\/www.pmadesign.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23314\/revisions\/23744"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pmadesign.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23315"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pmadesign.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23314"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pmadesign.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23314"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pmadesign.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23314"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

two-bedroom homes, part of a larger resort development on the Caribbean Isle, Montreal-based designer Patricia McClintock had a clear brief: create interiors that not only reflect the taste and cultural specificities of Dutch national second homeowners, but also attract the\u00a0North American rental guests (the homes are part of the resort’s rental pool). \u00ab\u00a0This was a challenge, as the expectations of the European guest are quite different from that of the North American tourist,\u00a0\u00bb she says.<\/p>\n![\"Indigo](\"https:\/\/www.pmadesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/7-Indigo-Garden-Blue-Bay-RGB-300x199.jpg\")
The celebration of the Island locale continues in the interiors. A neutral color palette and dark woods are accented by pops of fuchsia and lime green in the bedrooms, and turquoise, striped fabrics, and white hues in the communal areas. Those colors are echoed in the free\u00a0flowing and organic\u00a0artwork custom designed for the project. \u00ab\u00a0The overall mood achieved is that of island vacation and of a stress-less environment appeal\u201d, McClintock says.<\/p>\n
