EUSTACHE SARDES HOUSE

The Eustache Sardes House is undoubtedly one of the remaining examples of its kind in La Digue, Seychellen.

In the early 20th century it was built with almost geometric precision and refinement. Once it stood on large brick columns, but today the wooden house stands on a concrete foundation. It has an outside veranda with a decorative wooden railing, and a mansard provides adequate and habitable space under the roof. The design has been thought through to allow natural ventilation.
