Saunas & cold plunges in Casablanca & Anfa

Casablanca is the commercial city, and most of what we build here is either an apartment room or a club recovery zone. Both are constrained by the building rather than the ground.

Casablanca & Anfa, Morocco

Atlantic humidity indoors

Casablanca is humid most of the year, which sounds harmless and is not. A wet room in a humid climate needs mechanical extract with a run-on timer, ducted out, or it never dries and starts to smell within a season. A window is not ventilation.

Timber choices follow: thermo-treated rather than untreated, stainless rather than plated fixings, and a deeper ventilated cavity behind any external cladding.

Clubs and offices

Corporate gyms and private clubs in Anfa and Californie are where the demand is growing fastest. The brief is throughput and durability rather than beauty: porcelain floors, benches that unbolt for deep cleaning, a channel drain that can be rodded, and finishes that survive daily chlorine.

Service from Marrakech

We are three hours away by motorway and we schedule Casablanca work in blocks — installs and service visits in the same week — so the travel is shared rather than billed twice.

Questions

Casablanca & Anfa: what people ask

Is humidity really a problem indoors?

Yes. Without mechanical extract on a run-on timer, a wet room in Casablanca does not dry out overnight, and that is how the smell and then the mould start.

Do you cover Rabat too?

Yes, Rabat and Souissi are on the same route and usually in the same week's block.
