Signature model

Essentiel starts from a model already designed in our collection: you choose the façade finish, the flooring and the options (deck, pergola, air conditioning…). Signature is a new design, drawn with you: shape, floor area, layout, materials and finishes. The design study for a Signature project takes 3 to 4 weeks.

Our homes are light and reversible: set on precast pads or screw piles, with no slab or poured foundation, they can be removed without leaving a trace. Moroccan law provides simplified procedures for this kind of installation. On rural land away from towns, roads and the coast, Law 12-90 (art. 40) does not require a building permit: the municipality is asked for written confirmation. Elsewhere, a seasonal or occasional installation falls under the renovation permit (Decree 2-18-577, annex 4), which is simpler than a building permit. The procedure therefore depends on where the land is and how it will be used. We give you a project presentation note to file with your municipality, and we support you until it replies.

Yes. Our homes can be connected to existing networks where the site allows, or run off-grid: solar panels built into the roof with battery storage, water stored in tanks that are refilled, and wastewater drained to an individual septic tank. We study the right solution for each site.

For the façades: lime, cob, cork, light wood, charred wood or corten-effect steel, chosen to suit the landscape. Cork also serves as natural insulation, for thermal comfort in every season. The main structure is steel, the secondary structure timber. Interior finishes can be customised.

Yes, it is one of the intended uses: a home can be rented to travellers. Hospitality businesses also use them to add capacity or create shared spaces, without heavy works or interrupting their activity.
