When designer Veere Grenney bought his house in Tangier, it was not only the breathtaking hilltop location with its captivating view, but also the two and half acres of land cascading down toward the sea. Originally a jungle of tangled growth, Veere, over the years, has tamed it into an extraordinary verdant world of beauty and exploration. Join us in Tangier for the second part of our behind the scenes visit with Veere at Gazebo, his exquisite Moroccan home.

The upper terraces overlook the intricate interweaving of gardens and structure with views of Spain and Gibraltar.

The amazing climate, reminiscent of his childhood home in Auckland, New Zealand, has allowed Veere to plant a wide range of plants, both potted and planted, that enhance the garden with staggered blooms year round.

Veere’s process of garden design utilizes frames of plant architecture that contain the wild growth within. Just as Veere has embraced eclectic combinations in the house’s interior, so has he done in the garden, incorporating custom structures and tilework for a result that is both glamorous and artisanal.

  1. I absolutely loved walking through Veere’s garden in Tangier. You did an amazing job with the video making it personal and charming like the host. I am from Auckland New Zealand and it turns out that Veere and his brother and I went to the same school in Otahahuhu. I love his design style and passion for what he does.

    • Thank you for your kind words and what a small world. So glad you enjoyed – I adore Veere and his beautiful home!
