Architecture

The architectural layout focuses on an open-plan living experience without compromising privacy. Spaces are strategically distributed to create a sense of flow and connection, while subtle offsets between areas provide secluded corners when desired. The eastern and western façades feature minimal openings to reduce heat gain and glare, while the northern and southern sides open generously to light, air, and views. Sliding shading devices and architectural overhangs add an elegant, functional layer of sun protection, casting dynamic patterns of shadow and ensuring comfort throughout the day. This careful orchestration of openness, privacy, and climate responsiveness defines the character of the home.

Sustainability Principles

Sustainability was integral to the design philosophy. The house is oriented to maximize daylight and minimize the need for artificial lighting during daytime hours, while allowing prevailing winds to naturally ventilate the interior spaces. Architectural shading, pergolas, and overhangs help to cool the building envelope and reduce solar gain. The design uses the built form itself to create shaded outdoor zones and cool breezeways, enhancing thermal comfort and lowering energy consumption — all while maintaining a strong connection with nature.

Interior Design

The interiors build on the architectural story, weaving natural materials and Moroccan motifs into a modern, understated palette. The client’s fondness for Moroccan blue is celebrated through subtle accents on furnishings, patterned sliding screens, and decorative details. Semi-transparent sliding partitions with intricate Moroccan-inspired patterns create flexible divisions between spaces while maintaining lightness and visual continuity. The interior aesthetic combines modern, Arab, and Moroccan elements, achieving a balance of simplicity and cultural depth. A key feature is the seamless connection between indoors and outdoors: the flooring in the living area continues uninterrupted to the pool terrace, so when the doors are open, the living space feels like it extends all the way to the sea. This design gesture not only enhances the sense of openness but also creates an unforgettable holiday atmosphere where the boundaries between inside and out dissolve.
