VILLA MAHÉ SEYCHELLES - VILLA ON THE NORTHERN COAST
155 isles spread in the Indian Ocean, an archipelago of rare beauty, colorful landscapes, turqoise waters, luxurious forests. Discovered by Vasco da Gamma in the early ‘500s, Seychelles islands remained for a long time unhabited until the French established here in the XVIIIth century. After the Paris treaty Seychelles became an English colony, until the 1976, year in which they obtained indipendence forom the United Kingdom.

THE IMAGE OF EDEN IN PURE ENGLISH STYLE
Paghera interveins on the main island, Mahè, with the undertaking of two projects: one on the West coast, the other one near the capital, Victoria. In the first case, the Paghera team dealt with the restoration of a rural colonial house. The building, in awful conditions, is entirely recovered without adding anything to the existing elements.

THE SWIMMING POOL
The style is an original Creole architecture, with sloping roofs in orded to face the intense tropical rains and wide porches that maintain the environment fresh and dry as much as possible. In the blooms overflowing garden, a swimming pool of which shape brings to mind a print in the sand, with a breathtaking view.

THE INTERIORS
The interior, elegant and essential, is designed using wooden furniture made by local artisans as the other elements used throughout the house. The complex has been recovered and reconditioned after having made estimations and in-depth analisys of the local art, architecture and Creole traditional culture, examinations that involved visits to the local museums and sites of natinal heritage.
