Under the guidance of New Zealand architect Bergendy Cooke with Moroccan architect Amine Abouraoui, this house was built from scratch for Austrian hotelier Christian Schallert with the idea to host his friends, family, and wanderlust travellers from all over the world.

Three years in the making — the result is an outstanding architecture gem, a harmonious place where high-end design, beautiful bespoke furniture, and a quality finish come together. This house is a dream for design lovers and has opened its doors for up to 16 guests. The modern aesthetic is complemented by design classics such as the Egon Eierman chairs and Ingo Maurer’s paper lamp.

The Details

What makes it Kobu

A unique location, in the parallel street of Rue Yves Saint Laurent and viewing right onto the famous Majorelle Gardens, you will find our dazzling design house Maison Brummell. The district is right in between the popular “nouveau” village called Gueliz, (famous for the best restaurants and some amazing stores like Norya Ayron for Kaftan shopping, Lalla for bags or the Some Slow Concept store) and the very centre of Medina (Jemaa el Fna), is only a 10-minute taxi ride away.
On site made terrazzo stone floors join smoothly together with the famous Moroccan artisan traditional tadelakt material. All rooms are equipped with handcrafted wood and brass furniture from high-end local producer Maison Nicole, suspension lamps by the Italians Vesoi, all faucets and taps by Italian brand Neve and Gio Ponti´s Lama door handles. Local carpenters were responsible for bespoke bed bases and bedside tables.
