Marrakech, Morocco

Riad Azmera

Photographs just tipped onto a table.

This site is a demonstration. It is not in production and belongs to no property: the contact details, reviews and ratings shown on it are invented.

The place

Marrakech, Morocco

A riad cannot be seen in one image. It is a sequence of rooms around a courtyard, and what stays with you afterwards is a disorder of details: a zellige panel, a bougainvillea, a plunge pool, a painted door.

The site reproduces that memory rather than a floor plan. The prints are scattered out of order and tilted, over the name set very large — as though an envelope of photographs had just been tipped onto a table. Nothing lines up, and that is deliberate.

Three widths

Desktop, tablet, phone.

The same screen at three widths. A hotel site is mostly read on a phone, often in bed, sometimes on the other side of the world.

The art direction

Three decisions.

Prints scattered out of order over the name, like photographs just dropped on a table.

  1. Composed disorder

    Prints tilted at different angles. An apparent mess that takes more adjusting than a grid does.

  2. The name underneath

    The word passes behind the photographs instead of sitting above them. The place comes before the brand.

  3. A cream ground

    One warm tone, so the garden's green and the pool's blue are the only saturated colours.
