In an interview with ELLE Australia, Razat opened up about her long term friendship with the French actor, expanding that kissing him “was weird” because “he’s like my brother in real life.”

In an interview for AD (Architectural Digest) Middle East, Razat says: “When I first walked into this courtyard, I fell in love with it immediately.”

The photos of the space (some of which feature or were taken by Etienne Baret) reveal an industrial-chic vibe and a lot of history, with Razat saying she particularly loves “an original wall of the building, which used to be a spinning mill and later a brewery for beer production, dating back to the 19th century.”
