Un club di pétanque rinasce nel quartiere Gueliz di Marrakech, grazie all’imprenditore Kamal Laftimi. Per bere un drink tra pezzi d’autore, dove un tempo regnavano i campioni delle bocce. Progettato dagli architetti Alexeja Pozzoni e Diego Alonso, il Pétanque Social Club @psc_marrakech è uno spazio eclettico, con diverse aree come la lounge, la biblioteca, la terrazza e il giardino d’inverno. La ristrutturazione ha preservato elementi e materiali esistenti, integrando pezzi vintage e oggetti curiosi per uno stile che è possibile definire “magic totalism”.”
