The project

GBBQ Grand Bay

Grand Bay, Mauritius

Located in the bustling coastal town of Grand Bay on Mauritius’s north coast, GBBQ is a commercial development that seamlessly blends modern design with functional spaces. Completed in 2011, the building stands as a testament to contemporary architecture, offering both aesthetic appeal and practicality.
The project comprises a ground floor dedicated to interiors and lifestyle boutiques, creating a vibrant retail environment that attracts both locals and tourists. Above the retail space are three levels of office accommodations, providing businesses with state-of-the-art facilities in a prime location. A basement parking area ensures convenience for tenants and visitors alike.
Designed to maximise the stunning sea views, GBBQ features large openings that allow natural light to flood the interior spaces. Timber louvres are strategically used to control solar radiation, enhancing energy efficiency while adding a distinctive element to the building’s façade. These louvres complement the modern forms rendered in cool white and earth tones, creating a harmonious blend with the surrounding environment.
GBBQ stands as a significant addition to Grand Bay’s vibrant landscape, offering a unique combination of retail and office spaces that meet the demands of modern commerce. Its contemporary style and thoughtful design make it a landmark development that embraces the beauty of its seaside setting while providing functional spaces for business and leisure.
