The home of Studio KO owners Karl Fournier and Olivier Marty is half an hour southeast of Marrakesh. As you approach it, the landscape gradually becomes empty, and rare huts disappear. The dirt road rises to the Atlas Mountains and runs along a hidden oasis. Soon the burnt adobe walls of an empty village appear. The place has no name, just kilometer 33.
Fournier describes the house’s style as ” anti-wow “. Several rooms with low ceilings are scattered around the courtyard. Somewhere there are pots with cacti and shrubs, somewhere a shady corner with a low sofa or dining table, where the piercing midday sun does not penetrate.
“ In the beginning, when we organized the space, we reflexively designed a bathroom for each bedroom ,” says Fournier. Can you imagine how much water that would be ? More than the entire village consumes! It’s not normal .”
