Centreville House

A Community Project Designed and Created by Antonius Roberts

The transformation of the grounds of Centreville House, facilitated by Orjan Lindroth, Lindroth Development Company and the National Museum of the Bahamas Antiquities, Monuments & Museums Corporation, was undertaken and designed by Antonius Roberts, Sculptor and Open Space Designer.

The guiding principles that informed the vision and direction of this work encompassed the following: to design, within the environs of Centreville House, a park reflective of the inherent elegance and history of the existing house, at the same time honouring the broader reference of the Lucayan Indian heritage in The Bahamas; to make it a community project; to create an open space accessible to and for Bahamians from all walks of life; to maximise the use of native wood, plants and trees and to observe a 'green' philosophy by recycling organic material from the property.
