A riad exists as a tonic to the hustle and bustle of city life. Divided into quarters (and often divided again), these enclosed oases are hidden away from the streets, behind closed doors. Once out of the noise and glare, the sound of water is occasionally overtaken by noisy birds. Shaping and coercing plants is not the done thing in a riad; they are allowed their own freedom of expression. When plants are contained within this kind of strict layout, it doesn’t matter if they are unruly. The riads of Marrakesh have a strong visual code, with endless variations within that. Chalky walls are paired with shiny tiles. Saturated earth colors contrast with glossy sea green; tall is paired with squat. The most obvious sensory contrast is between light and shade. There are many of these stunningly beautiful gardens to see around Marrakech including the Jardin Majorelle.
