For the Yves Saint Laurent Museum in Marrakesh, our teams brought together exceptional Moroccan craftsmanship and specialist technical expertise to realise one of the city’s cultural landmarks. 250,000 traditional Tétouan terracotta bricks were laid individually to create the museum’s distinctive lace-like façade, complemented by hand-crafted green-toned zellij tilework and tailor-made conservation systems designed to protect delicate textile collections through precise temperature and hygrometry control. Working closely with Pierre Bergé, co-founder of the Yves Saint Laurent couture house, and specialist partners in acoustics, lighting and audiovisual systems, we coordinated every layer of the project with the precision of a luxury atelier, bringing local savoir-faire, creative ambition and flawless execution into harmony.
