At the foot of the Atlas Mountains, Villa El Fida is conceived as an architectural composition based on a controlled interplay of solids and voids, inscribed within a rigorous 30 × 30 meter plan. Designed as a promenade between interior and exterior, it articulates patios, double-height volumes and a connecting bridge within a contemporary composition. Rounded suspended staircases rhythm the façades. Marble, tadelakt and carved cedar unify the project in a dialogue between modernism and Moroccan craftsmanship.
