Design isn’t something that just happens. It evolves, adapts and is created through various influences.

The architectural design of Eden Island is based on a melting pot of ethnic diversity found in the Seychelles, having evolved from French, Victorian, African, Indian and even Chinese ancestry. It has absorbed skills, customs and styles into a culture that is today distinctly Seychelles.

It is this character, these colours and design elements together with the inspiration created through the ocean, forests, boulders and beaches that were used in the conception of Eden Island.

Created by utilizing the universal principles of design by renowned South African architects Dennis Moss & Associates, Eden Island mirrors Seychelles culture. Colours reflect the islands – from green, brown and blue to white, utilizing the textures of sand, granite, coral and soil – it is an exploration of nature.

Homes are spacious, with large verandas, high-pitched red roofs and feature breathtaking views over mountains, ocean, forests and nearby islands like Cerf and Ste. Anne. There are almost no boundaries between the outside and the ample inside, with big open doors and large windows inviting nature inside to become part of your home.

It is designed with purpose, with relevance and with history. It portrays a sense of place, a sense of style and originality. Promoting harmony and balance, it is design that lends as much from the traditional as it does from the here and now – a modern vision that is clearly rooted in the Seychelles vernacular.
