MAISONEVE
A riad rebuilt by the trades that built the original.

The Ochre House

Marrakesh, Morocco

Information

Every surface here was made on site by people who do this work and nothing else — tadelakt, zellige, carved plaster. Our job was mostly to specify less and let them do more.

Scope Of Work

  • Architectural Planning

    The riad's plan untouched. Four rooms gained bathrooms; nothing else changed.

  • Interior Styling

    Tadelakt and zellige throughout, in one ochre run through every room.

  • Furniture Specification

    Built into the walls, as it always was here.

  • Lighting & Atmosphere

    Lanterns and candles. There is no downlight anywhere in the building.
