The design approach seeks to enhance
the inherent beauty of the site by
creating an architecture that is
sympathetic to its surroundings. The
apartments will be sited so as to
minimise the effect on natural flora
and fauna.
The whole design of the buildings
and implementation on site has been
thought to reduce as much as
possible the impact of the project
on the existing profile of the
mountain and the balance of the
built environment with the natural
background of the La Tourelle
mountain.
The architectural style embodies the
essence of Mauritian living in
tropical elegance, a contemporary
approach using traditional
materials. Local stone, slate and
wood are all used extensively. Large
areas of glazing give the
opportunity for open living
maximising views out from sleek
contemporary interior spaces.
High quality interior finishes
create a sense of refined luxury and
elegance in a contemporary style.
The idea of verandah living has been
encouraged in the layout with the
creation of outdoor covered
terraces. These draw from the
vernacular architecture that takes
advantage of Mauritius’s tropical
climate which has made outdoor
living a way of life on the island. |
