Venue and Bar, Mercury House Annex, Seychelles

  • Project Overview View full size images View thumbnail images
  • Convert a listed but neglected Victorian building into a functional and interesting leisure space, with a design sensitive to the local area.

    The annex is an outbuilding which forms phase 2 of the original Mercury House project completed a year earlier.

    It is a clarified, cohesive space with a simple palette of colours, materials and use of light boxes. Exposed columns create a rhythm that is picked up with panelling throughout. Muted at first glance, doors open to reveal a deep red beyond into niches and rooms.
