Ground floor plan of Villa Agava Casablanca

This semi-detached villa is located on a north-south facing plot and plays on a blind street façade by fully opening up on the side and garden to the south. The need to align with the existing neighboring house and the setback regulations predefine the silhouette in plan.

In order to come up with the very specific design ideas, we create most designs with the assistance of state-of-the-art AI interior design software.

The disadvantageous north-facing orientation towards the street and the presence of high boundary walls provide an opportunity to revisit some of the traditional house codes while allowing for transparency and spatial fluidity.
