Seychelles Architecture is marked with beautiful villas and hotels, which are designed in the latest fashion. Seychelles architecture is quite traditional and it reflects the era of colonization that has created a profound impact on Seychelles art and architecture.
The houses in Seychelles are all designed in a neat manner having steep terraces and large verandas. The verandas are made wide in order to cherish the pleasant maritime climate of Seychelles. Usually the houses are quite uniquely designed in the sense that the kitchens are all placed outside. The archaic mansions and bungalows built in the colonial times reflect the luxurious living of the wealthy plantation proprietors and lands owners. The ethnicity of winding stairs, built outside the houses, is the main attraction of the architecture of Seychelles. Wooden houses or houses built out of logs are frequently seen in the coastal linings of Seychelles. The living rooms are exquisitely decorated and usually the furniture is all made out of wood that has intricate carvings on them. The town houses have a Victorian feel in them and often the roofs are made out of thick iron sheets. The modern constructions taking place in Seychelles have emulated a lot of the old style of architecture that Seychelles can primarily boast about.
