About Me
HELLO! I'm Olivier Christopher Aubeeluck, a designer specialising in 3D interior visualisation, bespoke furniture, and custom lighting fabrication. For the past three years, I've been working as a CAD Designer at Metalite Co Ltd in Mauritius whilst running my own freelance practice alongside, taking on residential and commercial projects and bringing them to life through SketchUp, V-Ray, and Photoshop, backed by a solid technical foundation in Revit, AutoCAD, and Inventor.
Across every project, I've come to believe that good design starts with colour. Before anything else takes shape, I work with the client to define a palette that feels right for their space. That palette informs every decision that follows.
To me, design sits at the intersection of precision and feeling. This portfolio is a record of the spaces I've built and the thinking behind them.

The brief was straightforward enough: a barbershop that actually feels good to be in. Peach Red sets the tone from the moment you walk through the door, warm and assured without being loud about it. Deep Slate Olive grounds the whole thing, and Naples Yellow comes through in the smaller details, a bit of light without the fuss. Teak wood does what it always does in a space like this, brings an honesty and warmth that no paint colour can replicate. Rattan keeps it from feeling too polished. Marble, used with some restraint, adds the right amount of weight. Compact at twenty-four square metres, but it never feels squeezed. The layout earns its space.
Challenges & Design Solutions
The client was quite set on having a gaming corner for guests whilst they waited, which on paper sounds simple and in practice rather less so. Getting it to sit properly within a working barbershop at that scale meant rethinking the zoning entirely, making sure it read as part of the design rather than something bolted on at the end. The rattan sofa was a separate headache altogether. Off-the-shelf proportions were either far too bulky or oddly slight for the room. Took a fair few rounds before landing on something that actually worked.

The mountains are right there and you simply cannot ignore that, nor should you. The Chamarel view is the room, everything else is in service of it. Raw Sienna, Dark Tyrian Blue, Vinaceous Cinnamon and Ecru were chosen precisely because they sit comfortably alongside the landscape rather than pulling attention away from it. Oak wood gives the interior its backbone, linen softens the whole thing without going soppy about it. There is nothing in here that is working too hard. The light shifts through the day and the room shifts with it. Calm, considered, properly comfortable in the way that only comes when a space has been thought through rather than styled up.
Challenges & Design Solutions
The fireplace was the tricky one. The client knew exactly what she did not want, nothing too traditional, nothing too clinical, but pinning down the right reference took considerable time. Everything available commercially missed the brief in one direction or another. In the end the only sensible option was to start from scratch, work up the proportions properly, find the right people to fabricate it, and have it made specifically for this room. Longer route, but the right one.

You arrive in the dressing room first. That was a deliberate choice and it changes everything about how the bedroom feels when you finally reach it. The double doors do their job well, there is a proper sense of arrival on the other side. Ivory Buff and Burnt Sienna carry the warmth through both spaces without making a song and dance of it. Deep Grayish Olive and Vandar Poel's Blue stop the palette from going too sweet. Meranti and walnut wood give the room its structure and weight, linen brings the ease, antique brass handles the finer details with a quiet confidence. Altogether it feels like somewhere that has been properly lived in, which at the end of the day is rather the point.
Challenges & Design Solutions
The client was firm about one thing from the outset: no walking straight into the bedroom from the corridor. Privacy mattered and that was non-negotiable. Rather than treat it as a constraint to design around, it became the central idea. The dressing room as arrival space, the double doors as the moment of transition. What started as a practical requirement ended up giving the suite its character entirely.

Made to measure and fitted to the specific proportions of the room. Meranti wood throughout the joinery, stainless steel tube hugger rails keeping the functional side of things clean and unfussy. A freestanding bench sits at the centre of the room, upholstered in Vandar Poel's Blue, the one proper moment of colour in an otherwise material-led space. It holds its own without trying. Everything else is content to let the wood and the craft do the talking.
Challenges & Design Solutions
One detail worth mentioning that tends to get overlooked on bespoke joinery of this kind. A gap was left deliberately between the top of the unit and the ceiling to keep access to the electrical cables above clear and unobstructed. Should anything need attention up there later, nobody has to touch the joinery to get to it. The sort of thing that takes thirty seconds to consider at the right moment and saves a considerable amount of bother further down the line.

Designed for a commercial workspace in Curepipe, this bespoke L-shaped shelving unit was developed to maximise storage within a corner layout. The design combines pine timber shelving with a black-painted steel structure, providing both durability and visual clarity. Particular attention was given to proportion, functionality and ease of manufacture.
Challenges & Design Solutions
The main challenge was resolving the corner junction without making the shelving appear as two separate pieces. The transition between both sides of the unit required careful coordination to maintain visual continuity and structural stability. The steel framework was developed as a continuous element, allowing the shelving to read as a single integrated piece whilst maximising storage capacity.

This shelving unit was designed to provide practical storage for a commercial environment. The project focused on producing a straightforward and durable solution using pine timber and a steel frame. The design prioritised functionality, efficient use of materials and ease of fabrication.
Challenges & Design Solutions
The project required a balance between storage capacity and visual simplicity. Increasing the overall size would have improved storage, although it would also have made the unit appear heavy within the space. The proportions were refined throughout the design process, resulting in a shelving system that provides practical storage whilst maintaining a clean and organised appearance.

This project involved the development of a bespoke ceiling fixation detail for a suspended light fitting. The objective was to design a secure and discreet support system that could integrate seamlessly with the architectural structure whilst maintaining a clean visual appearance. The design was developed through detailed modelling and technical documentation in Autodesk Inventor, with particular attention given to constructability, durability and installation requirements.
Challenges & Design Solutions
The main challenge was fixing the pendant light securely to an existing 200 mm wide timber beam. The solution needed to provide sufficient structural support whilst maintaining a clean and discreet appearance. A bespoke fixing detail was developed to ensure stability and durability without compromising the overall design. The final installation integrates naturally with the existing structure and allows the pendant light to remain the primary visual feature of the space.
