DESIGN STATEMENT:
L’été Restaurant is a project located in Mauritius Island that sits on a personal scale as the concept was particularly influenced by my hometown and the island’s tropicals. The design aims to pull out the best features of the island, capturing water and earth elements and in turn create a space inspired by the beauty of nature.
The concept of nature flows cohesively indoors, naturally guiding you through the space. L’été Restaurant is a space designed to destress and reconnect with loved ones while enjoying the beneficial approach of a summer leisure.
