PORTSIDE PERFECTION
Having wanted a place by the sea, French furniture designer Hervé van der Straeten and his husband, designer Bruno Frisoni, had set their sights on the Amalfi Coast in Italy. They were not looking for a house in Tangier. They weren’t even particularly thinking of Morocco. Everything changed, however, when they spent a few days with friends in the northern Moroccan port city and discovered a home for sale on the edge of the medina – the walled ‘old city’.
The structure itself was not especially appealing.
