Villa Gemme [jèm] is located at the heart of the Saint Thomas Island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Quite a gem of a location, with an unmatched view of both the Charlotte Amalie harbor and the island itself – The governor’s former residence built in the 1960’s was in need of a complete remodel and renovation after impacted by Hurricane Maria in 2017. The goal for the project was not only to remodel and re-design both the interior and exterior of the building but to seamlessly add to the already early modernist architecture. The project has gone under construction in 2020 and is to be completed by 2021.
