Les Hespérides Building
Les Hespérides Building (Immeuble Les Hespérides) is a multi-story residential and commercial structure in central Casablanca. Its architecture, likely designed by Albert Planque, reflects the Art Deco or modernist styles of the Protectorate era. The name 'Hespérides' references Greek mythology, suggesting a grand, perhaps garden-themed, design, consistent with the aspirations of the city's new town development.
