The Space

Set in the gently rolling countryside of Ida Ougourd, Riad Sukun lies at the heart of an argan forest, where the landscape opens in every direction and the pace of life naturally slows.
The arrival sets the tone.

A long avenue of olive and cypress trees leads towards the villa, where its white façade and generous Moroccan arches emerge quietly from the surrounding landscape. Riad Sukun was designed to offer space, privacy, and a deep sense of calm.

The House

The villa combines traditional Moroccan architecture with understated contemporary comfort.
Warm ochre walls, pointed windows, wide arcaded galleries, terracotta floors, and high ceilings create an atmosphere that feels both grounded and spacious.

Large windows frame the countryside throughout the house, while several terraces and outdoor areas invite guests to read, dine, relax, or simply enjoy the stillness.

The Interior Patio

At the heart of the villa, a sun-filled interior patio creates a natural connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.
A mature tree provides shade, while ochre walls, arched passageways, and potted plants come alive in the morning light.
