Villa Sahar Project by Mahfoud Laasri: Casablanca Residence Focused on Mass, Lightness, and Transparency

Villa Sahar is a single-family residence located in Casablanca. The project was conceived by Mahfoud Laasri and explores the interaction between the concepts of mass and lightness, materiality and transparency, as well as the relationship between architecture and landscape.

The name of the residence, derived from the Arabic word سَحَر, refers to the period preceding sunrise. The main facade of the house faces east, integrating morning light as a fundamental element in the project's identity and as a source of inspiration for its architectural language.

React Architects' Casa Alonakia Project in Antiparos with Aegean Sea View

Casa Alonakia, designed by React Architects, is located on a steep west-facing slope on the island of Antiparos. This location offers an unobstructed view of the Aegean Sea and the vast horizon during sunset.

The project concept was developed from the specific characteristics of the terrain. It is an irregular topography where the construction is intrinsically integrated into the soil modeling process. Instead of implanting an isolated architectural block on the slope, the design was conceived as a natural extension of the existing topography.

Thus, the project manages to translate the characteristic features of the Cycladic landscape into a modern and contemporary residence.
