Visit to Casablanca

Moving onto the fun phase of the project. 

We went to Casablanca to look at fabrics for all the upholstery, curtains, hanging silks, cushions, etc. Some really interesting & fun materials, so a very exciting day. The interior designers are currently putting together a mood board so that we can look at the whole colour scheme.   

Paint colours also chosen, but Morocco seems to have a different set of paint colours so a bit of juggling required to get the correct colours.

15c A wee little lunch break by the sea in Casablanca !

15b The team (Left to right Peter and Keith - interior designers, and Jallel - manager) ready for action...

15a sometimes we need to design by moonlight - not enough hours in the day....

Inside, outside

15d New railings preventing workers falling down 50 foot hole. If we had a health and safety person, he would be very happy !

15e Outside we have selected the latest titanium carbon-fibre scaffolding - strong and yet supple, with a curious vintage feel....
