Rather than turning to clichéd hallmarks of Africa, the designers of this lodge tapped into the very essence of the land to create a home that is clearly rooted in nature, yet is simultaneously contemporary.
It was serendipity that enabled the designers to achieve this desired look so effortlessly, in the form of a 4.8m piece of southern mahogany, measuring 1.8m in diameter, that was found at a sawmill in Pietermaritzburg. The victim of a forest fire, the long tranche yielded by this giant were put to use in various forms throughout the house, from doors to tables.
