ZIAD
Traditional crafts for a contemporary Moroccan country home
ZIAD
PRIVATE HOUSE
Marrakech, Morocco
A relaxed family home in the Moroccan countryside, surrounded by farms, mud houses and ruins. The vernacular architecture and surrounding landscape of Ziad played a pivotal role in the techniques used in the construction stages.
Inspired by local historic craftsmen, natural, artisanal traditional Moroccan materials were used, such as ‘pisé’ (mud and straw) walls, tadelakt (polished plaster), dos, hand-cut local stone, bricks and timber.

Generous interior volumes evoke a playfulness with the scale of the openings and windows; whether seated in a window snook or lounge you are immersed in picturesque views of the gardens and the Atlas.
With an emphasis on local crafts, artists, materiality and detail. Ziad is defined by a natural and organic palette of sandstones, warm neutrals and rusts to shape the narrative's connection to its location and history. Furnished with a mix of found items, vintage and new pieces - made by local craftsmen and bespoke items, designed by us to fit perfectly into their surroundings.
Internal patios link the outside in and help create interesting perspectives through indoor/ outdoors echo an oasis of calm within the space.
