The unique architecture is a mixture of Berber and European design concepts: The rooms, stairs, garden, inner courtyard/patio and terrace are in a horizontal and vertical position and create an atmosphere generously flooded with light, even with monumental impressions. With daylight, fresh air, sun and wind, this place always creates the feeling of being outdoors and at the same time of being protected indoors. Through this straightforward design, accomplished by the colours and original pieces of art, the beauty of this place offers a break from everyday life. In a few minutes it will bring you the feeling of being alone with the sun and the wind.
At the heart of the house lies a 10 × 4.5m pool, framed by a sun-warmed stone terrace and a bold modern pergola offering shade when you need it. Olive and eucalyptus trees, ornamental grasses and a traditional dry-stone wall enclose the garden, blending Berber simplicity with quiet, contemporary elegance — the perfect place to swim, sunbathe, or simply do nothing at all.

The Architect
The house was a result of a collaboration between two German university friends, the glass designer Horst Tüselmann and Professor Dr. Wolfgang Meisenheimer.
