The Seafront Estate and the Seafront Villas & Marina development in the Seychelles comprises an entire precinct incorporating eight buildings. Designed for Seafront Development, Seafront Estate brings together multiple uses that offer various facilities for residents. This mixed-use approach is a first on the island of the Seychelles, where hospitality is the predominant development form.

Seafront Estate was envisioned as a vibrant mixed-use precinct located on the seafront of Roche Caiman, with a focus on tourism and leisure activities. The scheme includes a 120-key hotel, 68 apartments, high-end restaurants, office spaces, retail outlets, parking, staff accommodation and back of house spaces. The buildings are connected by a high-quality public realm containing a multitude of public, semi-private and private spaces, courtyards and gardens.

The precinct is structured around a pedestrian-friendly central boulevard that connects to the Providence Highway and stretches out towards the sea. The boulevard terminates at a public piazza and wharf located on a portion of reclaimed land on the seafront. This is the focal point of the precinct, defined by the hotel and a restaurant pavilion building. It opens onto a new small marina and jetty.

The marine and seafront setting strongly influenced the design, which comprises two distinct typologies of a rectilinear form on the land side and a more curvilinear style on the ocean- and marina-facing side. However, a common materials palette connects and unifies the two.
