Maison Wardi Casablanca, Morocco 2024

Project by Studio Cays
Casablanca, Morocco

A Modern Art Deco Oasis

For this interior design project, we embraced a modern Art Deco style by integrating traditional Moroccan elements with a contemporary touch.
A Welcoming and Harmonious Space

The reception area has been designed as a vast unified space, with rounded ceilings that envelop the room in a seamless flow. Ceiling moldings were added to highlight each light fixture, creating a striking visual effect.

Color through Materiality

For the first time in one of our projects, we explored color through materiality rather than paint. We used a variety of materials such as zellige, perforated metal sheets, metal doors, and terrazzo flooring to bring rich shades and textures to the space.

Celebrating Moroccan Materials and Craftsmanship

We highlighted Moroccan materials and craftsmanship: terrazzo with large marble chips, zellige, artisanal metalwork, and local woodwork. These elements bring unparalleled authenticity and warmth to the interior.

An Entrance that Sets the Tone

Upon entering, an archway welcomes residents and guests. The pink metal doors with translucent wired glass on each side add an elegant and modern touch.

The Kitchen: A Cozy Corner

The kitchen features the same materials and color palette, with a particularly cozy breakfast nook, perfect for relaxing family moments.

The Upper Floor: A Natural Extension

Upstairs, we recreated the ambiance of the ground floor on a smaller scale, using the same materials (zellige, metalwork, etc.). Luna’s bedroom, for example, incorporates niches in the headboard, creating subtle and decorative storage spaces.

Master Suite: Luxury and Functionality

The master suite is a haven of peace, with a fully glazed bathroom that opens onto the bedroom. The glass doors and striped zellige add a touch of sophistication, while the headboard, also serving as a bookshelf with integrated storage, maximizes functional space.

Playroom: A Children’s Paradise

The playroom is specially designed for children, featuring a climbing area, a cinema space, and play zones. A true playful paradise where little ones can have fun safely.

This project embodies our vision of modern Art Deco: a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity, where every detail is designed to create a space that is both aesthetic and functional.

The guest cloakroom is adorned with pink zellige, offering a delicate and sophisticated atmosphere. The white monoblock basins and niches above the wall-mounted faucets add an elegant touch. The toilet, the main feature of this space, is highlighted, becoming a central element of the design.
