A riad’s identity comes from its courtyard, volumes and materials. A renovation should respect that balance while reviewing comfort needs and the constraints of the existing building.
Understand the building
Document materials, damp areas, services and access. Older features require assessment before interventions are chosen.
Preserve the details
Identify the joinery, floors, finishes and decorative elements to retain. Repair and replacement choices should reflect the building’s technical constraints.
Organise the work
Access and protection of retained spaces matter during preparation. Share the building’s information and check any required permissions with the appropriate authorities.
