"Lauren Perez is a born-and-raised Bahamian-but she never thought she'd live on the island indefinitely. After moving to the States for college and working in London for years following graduate school, she met her husband in Nassau and they started a family. Now they have five boys and no plans to leave. "I feel like we're a walking Bravo TV series called, 'How to Survive the Perez Five,'" she says. "It's fun, loud, and full of personality.""
"As the founding director of Tern Gallery and the creative director at a development company, Perez has an eye for art and an appreciation for history. Her husband, for his part, owns companies in 3D visualization and landscaping-and he's also a retired deejay. So, the property they chose needed to have as much character as the people inside. They found the right fit in Lyford Cay, on the western tip of New Providence Island, surrounded by the calming currents of historic canals."
Lauren Perez is a Bahamian who lived abroad for college and work before returning to Nassau, where she and her husband raised five sons. Perez directs Tern Gallery and serves as creative director at a development company, bringing an eye for art and history. Her husband runs 3D visualization and landscaping businesses and is a retired deejay. They selected a Lyford Cay residence with British Colonial features by architect Anthony Jervis, surrounded by canals and 25 years of lush landscaping. They preserved the exterior's Bahamian character while commissioning an interior upgrade and selected California-based designer Lauren Nelson for the project.
