Anyone ever designed a house on Barbados? Do they have any licensing requirements, codes or zoning down there or is it just strictly just all about the hurricanes?
I'm sure you mean in barbados, and yes I have. I'm a consultant for a practice there.
The do have have codes and zoning laws (health & safetly, right of way, similar laws in the US/UK, as well as stuff regarding hurricanes. If you email me I can forward you to a good source that can assist. Just as long as you aren't going to build a tropical mcmansion there. Or a faux great house - tired of that crap.
Barbados is very different to other Caribbean Islands, Its more developed and Architecture is appreciated a bit more.(though like places like San Fran, only "historic" colonial stuff)
I visited the Island a few years ago. There are a few mid century modern and Brutalisit buildings like the Airport and a schools, however I think these structures turned ppl off from modernism, all the new construction I saw was what Architectnophilia said.....Tropical McMansion BS!!!
