The Shehri Villa in Morocco is among Cipher's most powerful villa compositions -- a project that achieves a rare unity of exterior boldness and interior calm.
The facade is articulated through an intricate geometric screen: white ornamental lattice panels set within a crisp contemporary frame that filters the fierce North African sun while creating a constantly shifting interior light condition throughout the day. Landscape and architecture were developed together: the approach passes through a formal garden of clipped hedges and water channels, establishing a sense of ceremony before arrival at the threshold.
