About Andalous
02

Founded in 2004, Andalous Design is a company of the Bouazzaoui Group, specialised in the restoration of architectural heritage and the creation of traditional Moroccan décor. Drawing on the expertise developed by the group, the company works on exceptional projects in Morocco and internationally, reconciling traditional know-how with the demands of contemporary heritage restoration and traditional decoration. From the Koutoubia Mosque to the Chellah site, more than 55 historic monuments have been restored by our teams for the Ministry of Culture, UNESCO and ADER-Fès. Our expertise draws in particular on the mastery of traditional zellige, carved and painted wood, sculpted plaster decoration and the craft techniques that shape Moroccan architecture.
