Youness Ouazri
CEO and Founder
Ecodome Maroc

Youness Ouazri, 33 years old, is a passionate earthen construction engineer with a background in civil engineering based in Rabat, Morocco. He graduated in 2015 from Ecole Hassania des Travaux Publics and worked for two years at a technical studies office as a structural engineer and chief of construction projects. After that, in 2017, he launched Ecodome Maroc, which is an enterprise specialised in ecological construction of houses and infrastructures for rural tourism using local raw materials, mainly earth. With his team, they managed to adapt old earthen construction techniques to modern norms and technical studies, so that they create buildings that are highly performant energetically and resilient to natural phenomena (mainly earthquakes) alongside solving the problem of lack of access to infrastructure in isolated areas. 

To date, they have built more than 50 projects all over the Kingdom of Morocco and they have won several prizes nationally and internationally. They are seeking to scale our activities across Africa and the Middle East.
