  • Join us in Tangier for an updated behind the scenes visit with designers Frank de Biasi and Gene Meyer at their recently expanded home in Tangier. Learn how they acquired the property next door, cleverly melding it with their existing home. Long abandoned and with a bizarre footprint, the new house required major rejiggering to accommodate their desires for outdoor space, a bigger kitchen, formal dining room and new primary bedroom. They willingly rose to the challenge, enlisting local craftsmen to execute their vision. In Tangier all is possible and the duo created endless bespoke elements, from windows and doors to tile and textiles and even a custom dog door for their rescue pup Oscar. Light now streams into every room, infusing the house with Morocco’s temperate climate and natural beauty. See Frank’s creative ideas for his custom kitchen design, a handsome dressing room, and so much more. You’ll learn how Frank and Gene incorporated personal family heirlooms and their collections from their previous residences in New York, Paris and Miami into cohesive and livable interiors that have a strong sense of place yet expertly express their vibrant personal style. Travel to Tangier with us - you’ll be inspired, informed and entertained!!

    Honestly, the use of color in their homes is incredible. I am so inspired by it all. I love that they recycle fabrics, carpets, furniture, walls, doors, windows, tile, and also have local artisans make their design dreams a reality. I am only able to dream about using this much color in a space and fail every time I try and for Frank and Gene, it all seems so effortless. Truly talented!

    Creative and joyful! A bit like an Escher print brought to abundant life. The mix of colors and patterns works splendidly with the greenery and interconnected spaces. It's wonderful they have provided work for local artists and artisans, and the authentic result is gorgeous. I like those woven animal heads! A cruelty-free way to achieve the exotic look with a bit of whimsy. The only danger I see is forgetting where you left your phone or cup of coffee.

    It’s filled with color, pattern, design, beautiful antiquities. The blend of fabrics. It’s everything I love about Moroccan design. Simply magnificent. The flow of the rooms between the gardens, it’s like Paradise. The Artisans that that brought their talents together to create something unsurpassed in what we generally see today.
    Truly a treasure, with character and charm and Spice. I can’t say enough.. Exquisite! And a rooftop garden to Boot !

    I bet more wonderful food and life comes from those tiny, jewel-like kitchens, than from any of the vast showpiece kitchens we see in so many American home tours. It feels like a deeply personal, genuinely loved and lived in home that draws richly on its context and on the needs and loves of its two creative inhabitants (and dog). Thank you so much for showing us through.

    The rambling indoor-outdoor flow is fantastic, and the interiors have an aged artisan look, creating a gently rustic feel that is so comforting - it just seems to go on forever! The skyline view from the rooftop terrace is absolutely breathtaking - a dreamlike fantasy. It's all so clever and well put together.

    This is my heaven. This could have been 3 times as long, and I'd still want more. The light bathes a seamless harmony of color and pattern, and none of it comes off as "tortured," to quote Robert Kime, my idol, who would have loved this glorious home. I fear little, if any of this would translate to Grand Rapids, Michigan (where I live) except for his design philosophy of using things one has accumulated in a lifetime, in new and meaningful ways. I will be revisiting this video many times, thank you, Susanna, for bringing us along. By the way, you were radiant in those rooms and gardens!

Great job!!
