Back to moroccan-style houses


You guessed it- i have a huge crush on North African architecture. This riad-style Moroccan house looks that much better in real life than in photos- it's the whole grovvy north african vibe(yep- i heard those charges of Orientalists! out there from all those Said-ian wannabes)- one of the houses that keep me in the real estate business.
Mink Tan did an absolutely great job on this one- there's evidently a lot of restraint when designing this house- it's moroccan chic without succumbing to over the top, orientalist kitsch(kitschy is shitty by another name- milan kundera, although of course, i take liberties at paraphrasing the people i quote).
