MCB – Trou aux Biches
Trou aux Biches, Mauritius
1990-1992

The building for the Mauritius Commercial Bank at Trou aux Biches is located in a sea-side resort with a strong tourist contingent. The bank has glazed gable ends and teak shingles saved from a demolished building. The detailing of the building respects the tradition of the old architecture of Mauritius. The specially designed frosted glass keeps privacy, whilst providing interesting and ever changing patterns of light and shade on the local basalt stone floor.
