Designed by E-H Atelier d'Architectures, L-H Atelier, and Sarah Poniatowski, this residence spans an impressive 1000 square meters, nestled within a vast 13,000-square-meter plot.[pause 2.00s]  The architects took inspiration from the breathtaking views of the Atlas Mountains, orienting the entire project to embrace and frame this majestic scenery.[pause 3.00s]
