We are delighted to announce the completion of this stunning house in the Seychelles which shows off the practice’s capabilities and strengths in design and detailing.
- As with the first house, this was commissioned by a friend and client who shared our vision from the start for a cool modernist sculptural house that creates views in and around itself. This was a fun and joyful project reflecting the client’s love of entertaining, laughter and openness.
- The build was relatively straight forward and we simplified the structure so that it was a straight Corbusian concrete column grid but the granite outcrop would prove a challenge to work with. Though this is a complex and extensive property, it was well delivered and feels very much like a 6 star hotel with immaculate detailing, materiality and finish.
- Another 2 houses have been commissioned on the strength of people visiting this project – we are very proud of this and our previous Seychelles house. A big thank you to Michele Panzeri who photographed this house for almost 5 days straight, never growing tired of looking for the perfect picture, always finding new ways of seeing the house afresh.
