This is article, published in A+E Architecture et Environnement au Maroc – A+E Magazine is about our DAR AL KIF project, which opened in 2024.
Choosing a healthy and environmentally friendly living space is not a fad but a necessity based on three main pillars: energy performance, well-being and environmental integration. This ecological housing project is located in a region with sufficient domestic resources to produce building materials. Sustainability performance, cost and aesthetics are taken as a reference of an architecture that involves a more synchronic relation with nature. The building DAR AL KIF is an engagement in the act of cultivating the site. It aims to be exemplary in proposing an extraordinary sensitivity towards local materials, in stimulating local craft work and in enhancing environmental valorisation and care. We evidenced that the result returns emotional well-being to the local berbers.
Our strategy addresses the use of the hemp stems, treated as an “agricultural waste” of Cannabis farming, to propagate the full exploration of this versatile resource. Hemp also produces pollen for bees in a period of floral scarcity and nutritious seeds for domestic birds with the potential to provide countless sources of sustainable income.
