An unfinished riad on a quiet street beside Jnan Sbil, a few steps from Bab Boujloud and the old Medina.
This unfinished riad sits on a quiet street in Fes Jdid, next to the gardens of Jnan Sbil and the entrance to the old Medina at Bab Boujloud. From the terrace, the view opens over the garden and the mountains north of Fes. The building is partway through construction — a foundation to finish on your own terms, with the layout and generous bathrooms already planned into every room.
Standing on the roof, the sightline runs straight over the walled cemetery and the ramparts of Fes Jdid to the gardens of Jnan Sbil and the mountains beyond. The first floor still has a full roof terrace to be built — once finished, this view becomes the riad's defining room.
Surveyed drawings of the construction to date. Only the walls that are actually standing are drawn in — the blank areas of each floor are the space still allocated but not yet built, ready to be finished to a new owner's plan.
The hand-drawn plan behind the current layout — ground floor and first floor as they stood, the section through the stairwell, and the site plan locating the plot on Kasbah Chems, off Avenue des Français. Drawn at 1/100 for the project of M. Abdesslam Riffi.
