For live-ins, the house can comfortably sleep four, offering a home-from-home for visitors looking to get an authentic taste of the place.

Dar Namir is about 450 years old and the result of a four-year renovation. I wanted to keep as much of the original character of the house as possible, restoring and recycling what I could and adding contemporary features, like the pillar windows that allow light to flood in on the first floor, where we couldn’t.

I mixed traditional, vintage and contemporary Moroccan textiles and crafts in the finish, and updated the kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances such as the industrial stove in the kitchen to turn it into a space that would work as a home-style cooking school.
