The project is conceived as an operation of synthesis between mass and lightness, a dialectical balance between the solidity of the base and the fluidity of suspended spaces. The residence, structured on three levels with a total area of 1046 m², is rooted in the urban fabric of an elegant residential district in Marrakech, developing an architectural language that blends essentiality and sobriety into a poetics of balance.
The architecture reveals itself through an interplay of volumes that distinguishes the ground floor from the first floor, delineating a formal grammar where verticality and horizontality engage in a controlled tension. The base, made of terrazzo, solid and tactile, interacts with the ochre-toned plaster, establishing a chromatic and textural contrast that reinterprets vernacular identity in a contemporary key.

The floor plan is organized according to a logic of fluid circulation and spatial hierarchies that ensure domestic intimacy without renouncing a visual permeability to the exterior. The ground floor, conceived as a continuous space, opens onto a living room that acts as a perceptual focal point, articulated through a sequence of aligned openings that enhance the relationship between interior and exterior. Here, architecture dematerializes through an angular opening that dissolves the boundary between the house and the garden, creating an immersive living experience in seamless dialogue with nature. The bioclimatic pergola is not merely a shading device but an intermediate threshold that expands the dwelling outward.
The articulation of the outdoor spaces is designed as a choreography of solids and voids, of thresholds and shelters. The covered parking area shaded by a pergola, the pool framed by a privacy wall, and the sunken lounge with a central fire pit act as spatial devices that orchestrate a dynamic relationship between built space and landscape, between intimacy and conviviality.
The basement, far from being a mere service area, is defined by an intelligent strategy of light capture, with two English courtyards that structure the spatial organization. Here, the separation of functions is calibrated according to a principle of discretion and continuity: the gym, the wellness area with hammam and massage room, and the second guest room with a private terrace alternate with technical and service spaces, whose accessibility is mediated through carefully designed distribution solutions.
On the first floor, the domestic realm retreats into a more intimate register, reserved exclusively for the family. The bedrooms, including a master suite opening onto a spacious terrace, are protected from excessive sunlight through canopies and shutters, suggesting an architecture of thresholds where the boundary between openness and enclosure, between exposure and shelter, is finely tuned with environmental sensitivity.
.
This residence is thus conceived as an architectural organism where material and light, weight and transparency, rootedness and openness engage in a dynamic balance, offering a living experience that is both a refuge and an opening to the world, introspection and connection, memory and projection
