SEYCHELLES

Located along the shoreline of the Seychelles, this holiday residence was designed to sit quietly within its natural surroundings. C’est ici was engaged to develop the interior architecture and design, with the aim of reinforcing the home’s original intent while adapting it to the rhythms of the client’s lifestyle.

​

Early in the process, subtle architectural adjustments were made to better align with how the family envisioned living in the space. These changes focused on spatial clarity, circulation, and enhancing the relationship between interior zones and the surrounding environment. The result is a layout that feels open, functional, and attuned to a slower pace of life.

​

The material palette was selected with careful consideration, we worked with sustainable materials that feel honest and tactile. Natural stone, untreated wood, and hand-applied finishes bring warmth and depth to each space—chosen for their ability to age gracefully and their quiet presence within the context. While the architecture anchors the house to its site, the interiors were designed to soften it—to introduce comfort without excess, and clarity without distraction.

 

Furnishings are low, relaxed, and quietly elegant, shaped to support slow mornings, barefoot afternoons, and time spent together. An intentional retreat, grounded in simplicity and ease.
