Article source: Maison Edouard François The Gardens of Anfa will be the landscaped heart of a new neighborhood in Casablanca (Morocco). A large, dense park conceals a series of four buildings with vegetal façades, creating mimetic games with the surrounding nature.  Image Courtesy © Maison Edouard François

In the background, trees and bushes flourish with blue and white blossoms. The architecture plays itself out in many colors. Towers with organic forms are implanted around the square. The towers with office spaces have façades that are planted with multicolored bougainvilleas. The towers with housing units appear white, planted with jasmine or white bougainvilleas.

These residential buildings break down the scale of the high-rise towers to give the park an inhabited character. This architecture of individual buildings demarcates the limits of the gardens.
