The Dutch Caribbean style reflects the fusion of Dutch building methods with tropical climates. Found in places like Curaçao and Aruba, these colorful structures have steep gables, curved eaves, and pastel stucco exteriors. Large windows and shutters aid with ventilation, while thick walls moderate interior temperatures.
Dating back to the 17th century colonial period, settlers adapted Dutch forms to the island environment. Over time, the style’s cheerful hues and unique silhouettes became iconic in the region. Today, it remains a hallmark of the Caribbean’s rich cultural heritage and a draw for tourism and preservation efforts.
