6 Office buildings are designed to form an integral part of the urban fabric, while taking advantage of their prominent location. Each building is individually crafted to respond to its environment while projecting an image of quality and a sense of place. Many of these projects are elevated at the entrance level, allowing space to flow freely at a pedestrian level. The ground floors are treated as a public space and integrated into the adjacent open piazzas with coffee shops and outdoor areas in which the local office workers and nearby residents can socialise. The use of glass and high-quality natural materials, such as granite and marble, enhance the ambience of quality, permanence and the permeability of the spaces.

7 Le Tousserok Resort & Hotel: Pool Bar Resort architecture has its own set of unique challenges. It must evaluate and balance the Triple Client factor in which three equally important, but frequently conflicting, influences compete for the architect s attention. First is the guest experience, which is the differentiating factor for any resort hotel. This needs to be so special that the guests cannot wait to return. Essentially the hotel architecture is putting shape and form to the guest experience. Second is the hotel operator facilitating the experience. A thorough knowledge of the inner workings of a hotel is necessary to design a facility in which service delivery is professional and seamless. Le Tousserok Resort & Hotel - Trou d eau Douce, Mauritius Concept Design to Final Handover Third is the need for DSA Architects to be mindful of the developer, who requires a return on investment in an industry notoriously short on margin. The development team is often more focused on the economic and financial aspects of the project than the aesthetic or functional aspects. It is by respecting and understanding this important requirement that all three agendas can be fulfilled.

8 These two projects are examples of DSA Architects experience in mixed-use developments. These projects typically incorporate a mixture of high-rise office towers, hotels, apartments and retail at the podium level.
