A vacation home in the Palmeraie of Marrakech is inspired by vernacular architecture to offer a place of comfort and tranquility. Six interior volumes adjoin covered patios and loggias, which extend and protect the living spaces. A system of archways made of raw earth and wood brings a strong inertia to the space. Water gardens complete the house's passive cooling system.
