The Details
What makes it Kobu
Traditional Berber building techniques — earth bricks, wooden beams of palm tree and eucalyptus, are tastefully combined with low essential country chic décor, rattan, vintage fabrics from Morocco and abroad, with tadelakt and marble bathrooms adding the requisite amount of luxury. The terra-cotta tiles were locally custom made in a neighbor village for Berber Lodge. The decoration is a mixed between local craftsmanship such as rattan furniture, local antics (bride’s chest) or pottery and a personal collection of 20th century design furniture found in Morocco or from Family.
The lodge is a love story between the owner and the village of Oumnass and it’s inhabitants. Romain Michel Meniere is a French-Swiss interior designer living in Morocco since 2002. He worked and participated in a number of projects such as Bab Ourika, Riad Mena And Beyond, Nomad Coffee and many other private projects. With his architect friends from Studio KO Karl Fournier and Olivier Marty and Landscape designer Arnaud Casaus, Romain opened his own place after having a great variety of experiences in hospitality and events industry. The goal was to discover the Berber culture, their customs, norms, craftsmanship and architecture.
