Atelier Pod focused on the design layout before looking for
the aesthetic DNA. The purpose was to repeal the separation
between the bathroom and the bedroom, and make a typical
object of the eastern Arab language: the mousharabieh screen,
the design highlight of the room.
The sliding screen cuts a white monolithic bloc, creating an
elegant separation between the bathroom and bedroom, showing
on one side a vanity counter and on the other, a dressing
table. The elegance is in the use of the mousharabieh, and the
extension of its perspective behind a mirror which provides a
visual connection between the bedroom and the bathroom.
T
he Radisson Blu Hotel Marrakech has
just officially opened its doors. Xavier
Guerrand Hermes and the investment
fund Actif Invest invited Atelier Pod
to design the accommodation of
their new Marrakech property operated by the
Carlson Rezidor hotel chain.
The main design challenge was to create
a contemporary and innovative aesthetic
recalling the essence of the red city. The hotel
is located in Gueliz, and is part of a mixed-use
property including apartments and a shopping
center called “Carre Eden”.
The design team had a tailored approach of
extending the urban dynamic of the city to
provide a relaxing, atypical atmosphere.
