Ocean view · Medina · Essaouira

The Atlantic from your window.

Not a "sea-side" view. A full-frame one. The living-room window is arched, a metre and a half wide, and the ocean fills three quarters of the picture.

Dining room at Medina House — table under windows open to the Atlantic

Four angles

What you see, from where.

Each room frames a different angle of the Atlantic. The living room due west, the bedroom over the port, the rooftop at 270 degrees. The light shifts hour by hour.

01
Living room — due west
Cinemascope Atlantic. Lighthouse on the left, flat horizon. Around 6 p.m. in summer, golden light cuts across the room.
02
Bedroom — south-west
The port directly below. You see the blue boats coming in, hear the fishermen. The window is smaller, you wouldn't want it bigger.
03
Rooftop — 270°
All around: ocean, white medina, ramparts, hinterland up to the hills. Low banquette, wooden table, windbreak.
04
Stairwell — into the town
Half-landing, a small opening onto the pedestrian alley. The contrast: town one way, sea the other, three metres apart.

By the hour

The same window, four lights.

At dawn, the ocean is grey-green. By 11 a.m., turquoise. By 6 p.m., it takes the golden Essaouira light — the one that brings painters back. At night, distant lighthouses and fishing boats.

On the map

Three metres from the sea wall.

The house is in the north-west part of the medina, against the ramparts that follow the ocean. The front door opens onto a pedestrian alley; the living room hangs above the sea wall.

Against the ramparts

North-west medina, above the sea wall. The living room faces due west over the Atlantic.
