A riad of seven courtyards inside the old Medina, restored by Idrissi & Bouzid in 2020.
Dar el-Hajra is a seventeenth-century merchant's house reorganised, over four centuries, around the weather. Seven courtyards — some planted, some paved, one entirely given over to a single pomegranate tree — regulate the residence's temperature without mechanical intervention.
Idrissi & Bouzid's 2020 restoration is mostly invisible. New tadelakt plaster was made on site from lime and olive-oil soap; the floors are original zellige, relaid by the same family that laid them in 1887.
Six bedrooms, a private hammam, a rooftop terrace with an unbroken view to the Atlas mountains.
