Shortly after the return to Morocco following the September 2023 earthquake, a skilled metalworker was hired to build the superstructure for a temporary shelter while work was being done on the property. It came roped down on a tuktuk, looking far too large. Placed in a temporary location, it was covered in woven bamboo, and a plastic "roof" was tied on. It was furnished with two couches for resting during the heat of the day, a table and some chairs. Melfas from the Sahara region were draped inside and a firepit was made with river rock nearby so coffee is always available on site. Another bamboo structure was also delivered; this dome shaped small structure is used by Moroccans for a hamman-it is later covered with concrete for this purpose. The bamboo hammam is used for a toilet shelter and tool storage and eventually, the "bamboo palace" is destined to become the olive garden gazebo.
Some fresh wheat straw from Souk Telet was spread over the dirt floor, and a carpet was purchased as well.
