While predominantly small cottages, the homes in South Ambergris Village will also incorporate the island vernacular. This particular style places great emphasis on attributes such as the use of dormers, roof overhangs, open rafter tails, deep porches, pitched roofs and raised foundations. These elements, coupled with the use of appropriate materials provide a natural transition from the human dwelling to the outdoors. Designs that are simple and that incorporate appropriate scale, proportion, attention to detail, and quality materials are preferred. Other styles that do not fall under this category will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
