Brahim and Hadiya are a young couple that have recently immigrated to the United States from their native country, Morocco. They are planning to move into a condominium called The Carlyle that is located on the corner of Fourth and Wood Streets in downtown Pittsburgh. They have a 4 year old daughter named Aleah and Brahim’s parents visit for long periods of time from Morocco. Brahim’s father is disabled and need the apartment to be wheelchair friendly. Since their daughter, Aleah, will be growing up in America, the design of the home reects traditional aspects of Moroccan architecture, along with some sophisticated modern elements of America. To incorporate both Moroccan and American culture through design and space layout, the open living space fuses both cultures together through different spaces for gathering, eating, and entertainment. All spaces are accessible to all members of the family and colorful patterns are used as accents to decorate the space.
