Ongoing Developments & Projects in Seychelles
All the designs of CAPR!CORNUS are created with a multi-
disciplinary approach involving innovative, sustainable
and economical solutions for the client.
At the moment, CAPR!CORNUS is working with inter alia
on a luxury Boutique hotel development in the North-East
of Mahe, the construction of thirty six high end Apartments
in the South, and a multi-use Project with Retail Units
and eight Apartments at Beau Vallon. Several Villas and a
Guesthouse complete the work of the firm. Other projects,
inter alia at Anse Intendance overlooking one of the top 10
ranked beaches in the world are also in the pipeline.
The Hotel is situated at an outstanding location on the
Island of Mahe. The concept is to integrate the Nature of
Seychelles in a way that each guest can enjoy both the
ocean and the lush mountains from their guestroom. The
green mountains at the back and the breathtaking view
over the ocean at the front of each room. This projects
translates the laid back atmosphere in the country into a
quiet and unspectacular built environment. Not missing
at the same time all amenities any visitor would expect
from such project. This includes a life stock of chicken and
a vegetable garden for the use of the Restaurant. With the
engineered sustainable technique Concept, the project
will be 80 % independent from public energy-suppliers, of
which includes rainwater harvesting system that will be
used for the watering of the landscape. The water overflow
of the pools will be integrated into this system as well. A
hotel owned 60 ft. Yacht will add unique experiences for
the guests when visiting the outstanding marine life of the
Seychelles.
All apartments and residential projects designed by
CAPR!CORNUS follow the goal of contemporary living
within a unique and tropical environment. The Apartments
at Beau Vallon are overlooking the Ocean and the Tourist-
hotspots situated in the area. The most important approach
when designing this project was taking into consideration
the openness to the several views and getting the Nature
as part of the living experience inside and between the 150
sqm and 230sqm sized Apartments. The Apartments have
digitally controlled shading devices which are fixed outside
of the glass facades to reduce the amount of heat getting
into the rooms by direct sun-radiation. With a smart inbuilt
home technology the Buildings communicate with other
energy producers, storage facilities and consumers. The
principles have been met by an intelligent combination of
innovative technologies in energy production, storage and
use, with the aim of the self-sufficiency of the buildings.
“Each project has its own challenges and all our projects are
important to CAPR!CORNUS”
The keyword for a Mix use project is “Complexity”
which sums up the experience of designing a solution
that accommodates all the specific needs and desires of
diverse target groups, whose only common multiple is
the physical site on which they reside.The Mix Use projects in which CAPR!CORNUS is
involved with, takes the small available market in
Seychelles into consideration when carrying out the
feasibility studies, but at the same time delivers a fresh
and inviting design to the shops, coffee-shops, offices
and supermarkets. The firm developed, in agreement
with the customers, an outside advertising concept
for the shopping units which excludes inter alia the
common extensive facade advertisement for Alcohol
to the greatest extent which stands in an educational
context as well as in the one of design. The Corporate
Identity is ensured by the in and outside design – the
attraction and business is created by curiosity.Keeping these elements in mind CAPR!CORNUS work
in a way that is dynamic and whereby design surpasses
the rigid frameworks of the past but at the same time
incorporating the modern world into fruition.Contact CAPR!CORNUS
