Description
Alares is an extraordinary super luxury custom residence set on a sprawling 5,000-square-meter lot, where the architecture is a sophisticated revival of mid-century modernism infused with elements of Marrakesh’s vernacular materials. The residence’s design is meticulously organized into five distinct pavilions: living, master, wellness, kids, and guests. Each pavilion is a testament to thoughtful spatial arrangement, offering privacy and functionality while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic across the estate. The choice of local materials, such as rammed earth and zellige tiles, grounds the modernist architecture in the cultural and environmental context of Marrakesh, creating a timeless yet contemporary living space.
A unique feature of Alares is its celebration of the edge perimeter of the site, where curated gardens are designed to enhance each pavilion’s connection to its surroundings. These gardens frame the corridors, creating intimate outdoor spaces that offer moments of reflection and tranquility. The basement cellar, an elegant extension of the home’s luxurious amenities, hosts a cigar club room and a car collection, providing a private retreat for relaxation and indulgence. This combination of curated landscapes, mid-century modern inspiration, and Marrakesh’s rich materiality culminates in a residence that is both an architectural marvel and a serene sanctuary.
