House at Cap Malheureux
Mauritius
1991-1995

This is a 1700m² house at Cap Malheureux on the north coast. Each individual space is designed to the client’s specific requirements. Large overhanging eaves protect the openings and external walls from the tropical sun and rain. The front entrance door in rosewood and brass comes from India. The threshold is a single piece of marble. The internal marble floor runs out externally to emphasize continuity of space and bring the outside in. Large glass windows and doors ensure that all spaces enjoy the spectacular views of the sea and islands beyond.
