The Story Behind
Pencil House

Architecture is about more than just buildings - it's about creating spaces where stories unfold. That's what inspired us to create Pencil House. When Sarah Moussaoui founded our firm, she brought together her experiences from both Morocco and the UK, creating something unique here in Morocco. The idea was simple but powerful: blend the best of international design with our rich local heritage.

Meet
Sarah Moussaoui

With a master's degree in project and enterprise management from University College London (UCL) and her architectural license from ENA Rabat, Sarah Moussaoui brings a unique perspective to every project. Her journey through both UK and Moroccan architectural landscapes has shaped her approach to design and project delivery. For the past 9 years, Sarah has been putting her dual-market experience to work, serving clients across Europe and the MENA region. Her portfolio spans everything from intimate residential projects to large-scale commercial developments, each reflecting her commitment to thoughtful, context-aware design. Sarah's vision for Pencil House grew from a simple observation: the best architecture happens when global expertise meets local understanding. Her experience working on complex international projects, combined with her deep appreciation for Moroccan architectural heritage, allows her to bridge these two worlds seamlessly. Whether she's reviewing design plans with her team or meeting with clients on site, Sarah's hands-on approach ensures that every project receives the attention to detail it deserves. Her expertise covers both base build and refurbishment projects, bringing fresh perspectives to new constructions and breathing new life into existing spaces.

About us
Who We Are

We're a team of dreamers, thinkers, and doers. Our office is filled with architects sketching their next big idea, designers debating the perfect shade of marble, and project managers making sure everything comes together beautifully. Some of us speak Arabic, others French or English - but we all speak the language of great design.

Why pencil house?
What Sets Us Apart

You know that feeling when something just fits perfectly? That's what we aim for in every project. Whether we're designing a family home or a commercial space, we dig deep to understand what makes each project special. It's not just about following trends - it's about creating spaces that feel right for the people who'll use them..

How We Work?
The process

Every project starts with coffee and conversation. We listen to your ideas, share our thoughts, and figure out together how to make something amazing. From there, we handle everything - from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.

Think of us as your design partners. We're here to:

  • Turn your ideas into reality

  • Make the complex feel simple

  • Create spaces that work as beautifully as they look

Let's create something extraordinary together.
