Mario Rivault and his partner Maxime own a large home in Marrakech and rescued two street cats, Erri and Billie. The previous owner was a 90-year-old French man whose rooms were filled with heavy French wooden furniture and traditional Moroccan decor. The walls were coated in brownish-pink tadelakt and the house sits below street level, creating a dark interior. The couple added large windows and initially painted all walls white to brighten rooms. They later introduced bright colors, notably a green zellige fireplace and Marrakech pink on the exterior. Nearly all furniture and textiles are handmade by local artisans or vintage finds.
"Before we moved in, the owner was an 90-year-old French man who lived in a space that was very busy with heavy, old style, French wooden furniture combined with super traditional Moroccan decor items," begins Mario Rivault, who for five years has owned this large home in Marrakech, Morocco, with his partner, Maxime, and their two (saved from the street) cats, Erri and Billie.
Before they moved in, Mario says all the walls were covered with a brownish pink tadelakt, which he describes as a traditional coating you usually find in old riads. Their home is also located below street level (similar to a basement apartment), which was leading to a dark interior space. Mario and Maxime attempted to bring more natural light inside by adding large windows in the living area.
