House at Moka
Mauritius
1989-1991

The house is niched at the heart of virgin tropical vegetation.  Construction was carried out with minimal encroachment on the surrounding vegetation and a garden was created with the existing trees. 

All the ground floor living, dining and kitchen spaces give onto a U-Shaped verandah which faces the garden and mountain views beyond. Sleeping quarters are upstairs.

The personal involvement of the owners with the concept and the construction was such that it was built with care and attention to detail.
