The project

Alma 101

Vivea Business Park, Mauritius

Located within the vibrant Vivea Business Park, Alma 101 is a three-level office building that seamlessly blends sustainable design with the park’s industrial aesthetic. Developed to host the Architects Studio team on one of its floors, the building embodies innovation, collaboration, and environmental responsibility.
The name “Alma 101” holds special meaning. “Alma,” from the Latin “almus,” means nourishing or benevolent, echoing the concept of “Alma Mater,” the nurturing mother university. This reflects the building’s role as a nurturing space for creativity and professional growth. The number “101” signifies going beyond the ordinary—giving 101 percent and surpassing oneself. Together, Alma 101 symbolises a place that fosters excellence and encourages occupants to exceed expectations.
Designed to align with Vivea Business Park’s visual language, Alma 101 incorporates architectural elements resonating with the site’s industrial heritage while emphasising sustainability. The use of sustainable materials and energy-efficient technologies minimises environmental impact while providing a comfortable and inspiring workspace.
By housing the Architects Studio team, Alma 101 becomes more than an office building; it is a living showcase of the firm’s design philosophy.
