The shopping mall at Riche Terre near the capital of Port Louis in Mauritius had reached the life cycle stage of renewal. It was calling for an infusion of fresh energy and vibrancy to breathe new life into the development as well as keep it attuned to the fast changing retail landscape on the island. The brief was to combine architectural elegance with functional convenience, vitality, accessibility and an appealing tenant mix. The design concept was for a contemporary and stylized architecture based on an ‘Oasis’ concept, creating a pleasant contrast to everyday life while celebrating everyday habits in a unique setting.
