TANGIER

TANGIER draws on a North African architectural lineage without pastiching it. Tadelakt-rendered walls, hand-hewn timber screens, and stepped courtyard terraces combine with a contemporary plan that reads as calm, generous, and entirely current. The building is organised vertically around a sequence of courtyards and terraces, each at a slightly different level, each with a different aspect and a different light. The kitchen opens to a morning courtyard. The main living room opens to an afternoon terrace. The master suite opens to a private rooftop garden with long-view sightlines. Materials are rooted in traditional craft. Tadelakt is applied by hand in every wet area, developing a soft patina over years of use. Timber screens — hand-cut locally, geometric but not decorative — filter light across key circulation routes. Brass fixtures are fabricated in-country by a single atelier. TANGIER is a slow house. It rewards time — in the materials that age well, the rooms that read differently across the day, and the courtyards that invite lingering. It is not designed to photograph. It is designed to live in.
