I’ve been slack and am long overdue for a blog post. To be fair, I have actually been really very busy, along with the rest of the team. Does that count as an excuse for the lack of blogging?

But the good news is…we have finished Villa 5! Can I tell you that, due to deadlines and the complication of Ramadan, it proved to be a little like pushing an unruly elephant up a very steep hill whilst armed only with a chopstick? But we made it and the villa looks fabulous. We have final snags to attend to, but I can give you a sneak preview of the final look and feel of the L’Amandier villas…

The interior courtyard…

The bouh (alcoved seat) within the internal courtyard…

The view to the internal garden from bedroom one…

…and from bedroom two

Ensuite bathroom…

Fully fitted kitchen…

The open-plan living/dining room…

The roof terrace…

The pergola on the roof terrace will have canvas sails for shade and plenty of cushions…

The garden terrace with the plunge pool runs the length of the living/dining room and the kitchen…

The finished villa. Next step; the garden…

The vision of L’Amandier has now become a reality. It has a wamth and a feeling of tranquility. A simplicity enhanced with beautiful details. A feeling of the inside flowing out and the outside flowing in. Contrasting yet harmonious colours and textures. It is hard to capture the true feel of the villa through photos, but I hope they serve as a good starting point.

My trusty old point and shoot camera has been busy capturing the progression on site aswell as images of Morocco in general. To see all the images (which are constantly being updated), go the the galleries section on the right.
