Posed on the hills overlooking Casablanca and the Atlantic Ocean, the villa initially presents itself with an austere façade – a black door and vertical vents interpreting a mashrabiya. Inside, however, the architectural games begin. Finding protection from the heat, from the intensity of the sunlight, from exterior view. But also, creating a bond with the earth, sky and sea, where the temperature is more clement. On the inside, living as though projected outside, forever contemplating the beauty of the city. On the outside, living as though on the inside – under the sky but contained, protected. Villa Casablanca is a kinaesthetic machine, one to be looked at and felt, an arrangement between body and space. But it is more than that, it is also a climate, an atmosphere.
