At Home with Veere Grenney in Tangier - Part 1 The House

Tag along to Tangier for a behind the scenes visit with designer Veere Grenney at Gazebo, his extraordinary Moroccan home where his sophisticated style and well traveled eye have culminated in an intoxicating exotic paradise. See how Veere’s mix of international influences and years of experience result in a home that he describes as his “ultimate expression of beauty.” Hear how Tangier’s climate, people and artistic culture drew Veere to find a permanent home on The Old Mountain, overlooking the sea, with expansive views across to Spain and Gibraltar. Watch to learn how Veere embraced eclectic combinations of fabrics and furniture for a home that is supremely personal and effortlessly walks the line between refined and artisanal, with contributions of master craftsmen from both Morocco and England. Without a specific plan in mind, Veere’s design for Gazebo materialized instinctively. Learn how his love of colonial buildings and Regency architecture informed his choices, with stepped terraces leading down to his magnificent gardens (to be revealed in part 2 next week). For more on Gazebo and Veere’s two other homes, be sure to put his new book, Seeking Beauty, on your list, published by our video sponsor Vendome Press - link below.

[@anitarodriguez-rudell2211]

This is literally the first time that Susanna has been quiet and thoroughly inhaling all...the treasures of a home. It's like osmosis of trying to capture every detail of this gem. ❤

[@ArtHistoryProfessor]

Amen about her being quiet! Finally!!!! WELL SAID!!!

[@MTMF.london]

She was speechless most of the time and I would be too. It took my breath away.

[@themostUNlikelyCreature]

He is such a wealth of knowledge, I enjoy his personality. He has quite a warm personality, very unselfish, a relational person. She doesn’t need to talk much because he is more verbal.

[@tommoncrieff1154]

Well let’s all move to Morocco tomorrow! What a joy! Not much in this home - home not house - not much on its own is really my taste but assembled altogether I love it, I loved him and I loved his eclecticism, all his tales of provenance and his infectious delight at being alive. The garden is paradise on earth, the views are gorgeous, put the next video up now, I can’t wait to see it. Also, I loved Susanna’s dress in this episode. I felt this truly was eclectic multiculturalism as it should be, East and West and North and South all brought together in harmony. Note to self: a Snoring Room. Get one.

[@quintessenceblg]

Yes to all!! Thank you for your attentive and insightful comment!

Such a beautiful, comforting home, a place to cosy up with the books, the wood fire, the dogs, and a nice cup of tea. The view is amazing, the shades of blue in the sky and sea are so gorgeous! I am very glad that you are doing a part 2 on just the garden because that is one of the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen. Many English people are extremely talented gardeners. Thank you very much Veere for opening up your beautiful home in Morocco for us. Thank you to Stacey and Susanna for filming and bringing us around. Magnificent house! Love to you all.❤

OMG, I didn't realize it's a newer house, not a traditional Moroccan house that's had every last trace of traditional architecture remodeled out of it. I was expecting a completely restored traditional home in the Medina. What a pleasant surprise! Addendum: These interiors are so calm. Everything has its place, and not one thing shouts "look at me" they just say "I'm here".
