A Journey to the beauty of Moroccan architecture
Drawing inspiration from Moorish architecture, this magnificent Moroccan home is built as a contemporary interpretation of the style.
Simplified Moorish details beautifully coexist in this contemporary residence as they pay homage to the traditional architecture of the region.
Columns, niches, horseshoe or Moorish arches, muqarna-like details and rich finishes are evidenced throughout but interpreted in the cleaner lines of the contemporary style.
Designed with the amenities of a resort, this beautiful 4500m2 (48,440 sq ft) home has two heated pools, a private spa with jetted tub, home theatre and fitness center.
Numerous fireplaces and furniture groupings create intimate gathering places within the large open spaces of the home.
With 11 bedrooms and bathrooms, there are ample accommodations for family and guests to enjoy the home and extensive outdoor living spaces.
Typical of Moorish architecture, windows on the public side of the home are kept small to insure privacy. The domed and columned portico as well as the whitewashed stucco facade show the Moorish influence.
The wall of glass in this contemporary living space is perfectly centered to view the outdoor entertaining area. The Venetian plastered walls produce a slight shimmer in the reflected light.
The muqarna-inspired open grillwork above the water basin is further evidence of the Moorish style. The glass firescreen on the horseshoe arched fireplace exemplifies the marriage of contemporary with traditional.
The suggestion of columns, the series of arches and the filigree on the pendants all show Moorish influence but are accomplished in a cleaner, simplified contemporary style.
Changes in the ceiling and flooring details help to define the very large space and create cozier conversation areas. Illuminated columns and recessed wall fixtures near the floor mark the entrance.
The stylized horseshoe arch fireplace and niches speak of the Moorish influence while the furnishings are classic modern in style.
