Project overview

This boutique development required a construction method that could be delivered by boat, assembled with a small local workforce and leave a light environmental footprint.

Hospitality-led design

Each guest suite was designed as a self-contained module with a bathroom, minibar, terrace and sea-facing glazing. A separate pavilion houses reception, dining and a small bar, while back-of-house modules accommodate laundry, storage and staff.

Materials were selected for humidity, salt and termite resistance. External finishes are repairable and replaceable in a marine environment.

Logistics on an island

Factory-completed modules reduced on-island construction waste and labour. Flat-packed roof and deck components were shipped alongside the modules and assembled in 50 days.

The resort opened on schedule and has become a reference project for our hospitality clients in the Indian Ocean.

Every project begins with the same question: what does the building need to do? If you have a similar brief, our team can help you evaluate the options.
