Jacqueline Foissac, is the high priestess of the rehabilitation
Marrakech architecture and as a pioneer, she was to bring her inimitable
key of elegance to this rhyad. Because it’s impossible to circumvent
the great lady when it comes to transformations of old residences into
médinas or creations, there is not a European celebrity, actor,
intellectual, artist, dressmaker, or politician who does not court her
to see their house carrying Jacqueline’s stamp of design.
At the beginning, this rhyad was a contemporary construction of the
1930’s Glaoui de Marrakech, beneffiting from a panoramic view on the
Atlas and the médina. Jacqueline performed a magicial transformation of
this half-ruined property; each one of her interventions adding grace
where it was hidden or non-existent. Fabrics of the artist Claudio Bravo
point out the origins of the owner. The result is a house which wants
to be traditional, the whole creating an atmosphere of great quietude.
