The house

The house

A medina house built around its patio. What sets it apart comes down to a few materials: cedar, plaster, zellige, brass.

The skylight seen from the patio: carved plaster galleries, wrought-iron balustrades and a large hanging chandelier
A bedroom door on the gallery, below a painting and a plaster frieze
The gallery: a painting, a curtained door and the balustrade
The gallery lounge: armchairs, a round table and a model ship
The ground-floor patio: a wrought-iron table on a red rug, zellige walls, wooden doors and a carved ceiling

The patio

A well of light

The rooms open onto the carved wooden galleries around the patio. Above, a coloured skylight; at the centre, a large brass chandelier. It is the room you cross ten times a day.

A beamed cedar ceiling and a crystal chandelier

Cedar and plaster

Ceilings worth looking up for

Carved cedar on the ceilings and galleries, chiselled plaster on the arches: patient work that gives the house its warmth.

The zellige wall fountain: stars and rosettes of small glazed tiles

Zellige

Colour set by hand

In the entrance and on the wall fountain, zellige forms stars and rosettes from small glazed tiles.

A chiselled brass wall lamp casting rays of light

Lanterns

At night, brass

Coloured-glass lanterns and chiselled brass wall lamps draw rays of light across the white walls.
