our story
A dream
fulfilled
A sanctuary for rest and ease, a space for remembering oneself.
Amelia’s was brought to life by Kirth Bobb, a Guyanese-born creative who followed his soul's yearning to return home, closer to the sun after migrating to the united states in 1997.
Curated with care and a deep sense of belonging, the home reflects his and his children’s return to life under the sun—a reconnection to warmth, belonging, and the natural rhythm of island living.
At the heart of this story is Kirth’s grandmother, Magnel Amelia Millington. A teacher, artist, and matriarch, she was the first to dream of a home like this, one that welcomed others in, held them with care, and reminded them of who they are. Her influence lives in every detail of the property.
Amelia’s is an intergenerational dream realized, planted in love and shaped by legacy. It is a homecoming, not just for Kirth, but for every guest who arrives seeking rest, inspiration, or a return to what matters most.
The architecture of Amelia’s tells its own quiet story. Built into the limestone hillside, the villa is a testament to harmony between structure and nature. Meticulously designed, Amelia’s is oriented to catch the best light, resist the fiercest storms, all while honoring the natural geometry of the land.
The walls curve like riverbanks. The ceilings stretch twenty feet high, offering the room expansive breath. Every window frames the horizon. The furniture, soon to be redesigned by Kirth, will center guests toward the ever-present sea—an altar to the unknown and infinite.
Architecturally, Amelia’s manages to blend east west and all parts in between. The design blends rustic elegance with Afro-Caribbean soul—featuring global artworks, locally sourced woods, and an openness that allows the landscape to speak. Around the home, lignum vitae trees—the Tree of Life—stand tall, vanguard protectors of the land.
Architectural Philosophy
Amelia’s stands as a testament to revolutionary design, intentionally defying conventional architecture. The home’s fluid curves echo the waves of the Caribbean Sea, creating a harmonious dialogue between structure and nature. Psychological studies suggest that we are naturally drawn to curved lines over straight edges, a principle embraced throughout the home’s design to foster a sense of comfort and organic flow.
The interiors further challenge traditional norms. Leafless trees emerge strategically within the space, blurring the boundaries between indoors and outdoors, and inviting nature’s presence into daily living.
Local artisans have meticulously crafted furniture from indigenous cedar and lignum vitae woods, infusing the space with the island’s rich material heritage. Polished, stained concrete floors in earthy hues of red, green, and yellow ground the interiors, while arched doorways and expansive windows frame the breathtaking vistas, ensuring that every room remains connected to the land and seascape beyond.
the experience
Arriving at Amelia’s feels like a quiet crossing.
From the winding road, you ascend a flight of stone steps etched into the hillside, each one carrying you closer to a sense of home you may not have known you were missing.
At the top, a new world opens. Hawks glide at eye level. The air shifts. And a pause in time settles in.
You will soon discover that Amelia’s is a place to return to yourself. Writers, artists, seekers, and those in between chapters find their way here—where clarity comes quietly, and healing has space to begin. These are the spaces that hold you gently: where ideas take root, emotions have room to breathe, and something long quiet begins to stir again.
Every space invites presence. Every moment is an offering.
