Carré Eden Food Hall, Marrakech – Morocco

Project description

The “Marché d’Eden” food court, located in the Carré Eden Shopping Centre, Marrakech, offers a refreshing and multifunctional escape in the heart of the city’s vibrant, bustling atmosphere.
Designed with both locals and tourists in mind, it provides a comfortable, inviting space that fosters relaxation and connection amidst the busy streets of this iconic destination.
This space isn’t just about dining; it also serves as a hub for leisure and work, attracting a diverse crowd, including residents, the younger generation, and visitors exploring Marrakech. The layout reflects this versatility, encouraging social interaction and offering a welcoming environment for all.
The furniture arrangement is thoughtfully designed to accommodate a wide range of activities and gatherings, featuring family picnic tables, intimate couple seating, large group tables, and a mix of high and lounge seating. Whether you’re stopping by for a meal, meeting with friends, or working on a project, the space is adaptable to your needs throughout the day.
Incorporating natural materials and a warm, earthy colour palette, the design merges modernity with local Moroccan aesthetics. The use of wood, metallic accents, greenery, and warm lighting creates a calming, grounded atmosphere, making it the perfect retreat from the fast-paced city. The designed wooden seating area can even be transformed into a stage for events, further integrating cultural and social activities into the space.
To celebrate and support the local creative community, a display case is dedicated to showcasing local design products, offering tourists a glimpse into the craftsmanship and innovation of Moroccan artisans. The food court’s overall design reflects a deep connection to the local culture while maintaining a modern, cosmopolitan appeal, making it a go-to destination for both locals and visitors.
Covering a total area of 1,200 square meters, the newly refurbished “Marché d’Eden” provides a relaxing, multifunctional space where people can gather, eat, work, and experience the vibrant essence of Marrakech—while offering an oasis of calm amidst the city’s lively energy.
