Bergendy Cooke has created the Maison Brummell Majorelle hotel in Morocco.

This boutique hotel project embraces local methods of building and local artisans' skills.

"The Maison Brummell Majorelle is a playful interpretation of Arabic architectural elements distilled through foreign eyes," said Bergendy Cooke.

Although inspired by Morocco's rich architectural history, it purposely does not attempt to replicate it – where the building's sculptural form pays homage to the ancient rampart walls of the Marrakech Medina.

This eight-room hotel is distributed over three floors, creating a layering of gardens and water, inspired by the ancient Medina Riads, who valued both water and plants as a way of creating an interior oasis in their homes.

This project has been shortlisted in the hospitality project category of Dezeen Awards 2024.
