THE BIOCLIMATIC RIBAT - A contemporary dwelling, geographically and culturally rooted

This family house, strives to coexist both a desire for openness & intimacy in the heart of the Moroccan capital, Rabat. Introverted at first glance, the house offers generous and sensual living spaces where exterior/interior boundaries are blurred. Bioclimatic principles allowed to find compromises between natural light & thermal comfort throughout the seasons in a system where the atrium plays a key role in the spatial organization. Its legibility and stripped-down aesthetic give it a particular clarity proposing a sustainable & contemporary dwelling drew from local traditional typologies.
