Dare the escape
Villa DL is located in a protected area 10km from Essaouira. After leaving the macadam ribbon, we take the path to reach this exceptional house made by two young French architects StudioKO known for their many achievements in Morocco, including the Yves Saint Laurent Museum in Marrakech. In the neighborhood, behind some villas and cubic houses scattered on the expanse of the wheat. Invisible women inside or fetching water from the fountain, men on the trail, children playing, old people on their bikes, donkeys, goats, sheep and camels.
In the distance the villa is assimilated to the landscape.
It is in this natural environment of the maritime dunes, forests, poor and sublime at the same time, opening as far as the eye can see that a spacious and contemporary dwelling attaching to preserve the Moroccan spirit was built. From the outside, the stone house resembles rural Berber buildings, composed of several modules, few windows, but once inside, the architects have created minimalist spaces, warm and refined.
A design articulated around the patio with water, as an element of communication between the earth and the sky. Built with traditional and modern materials: stone carved on the walls and floor, wooden ceilings, concrete vault.
The villa is comfortable and perfectly adapted to the climate of Essaouira. She is very happy and welcoming with beautiful perspectives, in the middle of nature and calm.
This house is radical, it teaches us to treat infinity with this minimalist and mineral trend. His contemporary monastic style offers us the opportunity to disconnect.
Places where we find ourselves ... the patio, the living room, the dining room.
This house is benevolent, minimalist and friendly with pretty views, in the middle of nature, quiet. Everyone finds his place. It is a very serene place, rejuvenating. Different atmospheres well adapted to the environment, the season and the time of day.
The living room as a chapel with its concrete vault is very popular throughout the day. A place of rest, reading, music and conversation. The elongated bays offer an exceptional panorama at sunset over a drink. In the evening a very soft lighting with a view of the patio and partially lit land.
Breakfast can be served outside, lunch if too much heat in the dining room, end of the day a game of petanque. If the evening is sweet dinner in the patio with nice lighting and candles. In winter fire in all the rooms of the house.
The rooms rest with their patio, their small bathroom and a fireplace.
The house is based on an ideal of geometric simplicity. The structure in squares and nested rectangles reflects the composition of the family, its way of life and its purist vision of volumes. Four bedrooms, two twins (double) each with a shower room, a fireplace, a patio that has the quality of a small cloister, an intimate universe and a bungalow room on the ground with a beautiful view.
