Desert Villa by Studio Aiko.

The Desert Villa is our first try to merge the magical scenery of the desert with a modern architecture of a villa. We took the idea a step forward in a mysterious & humoristic way, we hope you will like the animation. Architect: Winestein Vaadia Architects Year: 2011

Villa North Island, Seychelles.

North Island is the most interesting conservation project we have ever undertaken. It is very seldom that the opportunity arises to make such a significant and positive impact on a region, a specific area, its wildlife and surrounding environment. On this beautiful island we have built an exclusive luxury lodge. We have, where possible, utilised materials reaped from the rehabilitation process. In doing so we have paid particular attention to capturing the true essence of North Island, a rare experience in harmony with the environment. The development on North Island is unashamedly aimed at providing the very best in privacy, location, accommodation, services, facilities and experience. The Island has only 11 guest Villas – exquisitely designed to celebrate nature and offer an authentic home-from-home ambience. The result is a special destination that touches the lives of its guests and inspires them long after they have left. North Island is an example of a sustainable ecologically sensitive utilisation of a precious natural treasure.

Duplex Merge with Mesmeric Views

Belgian firm JUMA Architects have sent us these images of their duplex merge project, in collaboration with Minimum Arquitectura, with fresh interiors looking out over mesmeric ocean views. The renovation plan to convert the two existing houses entailed demolishing their external staircases and creating a brand new internal staircase, and taking advantage of the amalgamated outdoor space and increased views with the completion of an al fresco dining area and lounge, private swimming pool, and a stepped sun patio.
