THE FOREST

To The Industry

Our concept proposal of ‘’Bringing the Forest to the Industry’’ for the masterplan for AVA Technopark is inspired from the passion and the drive of the Client for nature and is a challenge to us as architects to take the notion of sustainable and ecological practices a step further than others. The project aims for the integration of smart technology driven industrial activities with the adjoining environmentally sensitive areas.

Here the question is not only about the quality of spaces we create but also about considering how nature can integrate within the proposed development. We have opted to incorporate biophilic design for its numerous advantages to the working environment. In order to achieve this new cultural setting, careful attention was given to maximising the landscape through greater access to and views of the surrounding nature, improving air quality through natural ventilation, using natural light, alongside improving acoustics performance due to natural barriers and use of materials that will age well with nature.

The underlying aim of the project is to set an excellent precedent and a benchmark for future developments to come in Mauritius and the Indian Ocean.
