Témara: façade design and manufacture

The project

For Témara, the starting point was to treat the façade as a space’s first impression and a way of expressing its identity to the street. Archicercle designed and manufactured the façade intervention, using decorative openwork panels.

The composition brings together patterns at different scales. A fine, repeating geometric pattern occupies the upper section, while the screens in front of the windows feature a more open arrangement of curves and interwoven forms. White provides visual continuity between the two motifs.

The openwork sits in front of glazed sections, whose darker background makes the pattern stand out. Up close, the geometric repetition and intersecting organic forms take prominence; across the façade, these elements sit alongside white window frames, the TEMARA sign and planters at the base.

Archicercle’s contribution covered both façade design and manufacture. The built result extends the decorative pattern across the frontage, bringing together the overall façade composition and the finer detail of its screens.

The fine pattern in the upper section contrasts with the more open arrangement of the screens in front of the windows.
