"The new business district in downtown Casablanca consists of a compressed urban density, where public space is reduced to its most elementary dimension."
"Facing the street, this office building is elevated in order to extend the public space of the street all the way into the heart of the property."
The new business district in downtown Casablanca exhibits compressed urban density that reduces public space to its most elementary dimension. Public space along the street is constrained and becomes a primary design consideration for new developments. An office building is elevated above street level to physically extend the street's public realm into the heart of the property. The elevation creates continuity between the sidewalk and interior open areas, reintroducing civic space within a dense urban plot. The strategy prioritizes permeability, pedestrian access, and the reintegration of shared outdoor space within a compact financial district.
