Tadelakt and decorative plaster
Born in the Marrakech region, tadelakt gives walls a mineral softness that's hard to imitate. It takes patience and a real craft.
Riad renovation in Marrakech
A riad isn't treated like a villa. Its walls breathe, its access is narrow, and its charm lies in details that would be easy to destroy.
Old walls of rammed earth or brick need compatible materials. A cement render on a wall that breathes traps moisture, then blisters and damages what it was meant to protect. So part of the work is knowing what not to do.
The medina also has its own logistics: narrow lanes, manual deliveries, close neighbours. That time has to be planned for in both schedule and budget, and we build these realities into the site organization and the quote.
Common situations
- Crumbling walls or recurring signs of damp.
- Bathrooms to create without damaging the character.
- A riad to convert into a guesthouse.

Frequently asked questions
Are there special rules in the medina?
The Marrakech medina is a protected site, so specific permits and requirements may apply. Check with the competent authorities and your architect before starting.
Why avoid cement on old walls?
Cement blocks the wall's moisture exchange. Water stays trapped and damage appears later, whereas lime lets the wall breathe.

A floor is judged in raking light. Alignment, flatness and joints separate a correct installation from a beautiful one.
Hotel and restaurant renovation
In hospitality, every day closed has a cost. The work must be organized around your operation, not the other way round.
Plumbing and sanitary works
Good plumbing doesn't get talked about. It's prepared before the tiling, while everything is still accessible.
