Moroccan-inspired design
is gradually gaining traction in the U.S., highlighted by a recent restoration
A 1957 house in Rancho Mirage
, California. This mid-century masterpiece merges traditional Moroccan design features such as interior courtyards complete with fountains, Moroccan-style archways, Carrara marble flooring that extends outside, along with detailed wooden craftsmanship, all enhanced with contemporary elegance.
Nestled within the exclusive Thunderbird Heights enclave on an enclosed one-acre property, this expansive 7,566 square foot residence features a primary four-bedroom home alongside a separate three-bedroom guesthouse and a caretaker’s studio. Notable amenities consist of reflective pools, a charming gazebo, multiple fireplaces, and sweeping vistas spanning across the entirety of the Coachella Valley.
The mansion, initially designed by prominent architects and decorators inspired by Moroccan aesthetics, went through an extensive renovation to restore its handcrafted elements, including walnut ceilings and intricately carved wooden panels, which had faded away with time.
This asset showcases the increasing admiration for Moroccan design within upscale American real estate, merging heritage with mid-century modern style and introducing a new cultural depth to United States architecture.
