Modern

Eco-friendly estate living has become increasingly popular in the Boland region of the Western Cape, and looking at this fresh, modern property, one can see why.

A pared-down palette maintains the balance between gracious aesthetics and comfortable living in this family home.

After 30 years in a cottage-style home, these home owners decided it was time for a change to less clutter, cleaner lines and greater simplicity.

With all their birds having flown the nest, the home owners were looking to downsize – not necessarily when it came to square footage of the house itself, but in terms of the number of bedrooms required.

This magnificent home with its unique and striking architecture is conveniently situated near schools and shopping centres, making it the perfect home in which to raise a family.

Upon entering this home, you are immediately struck by the incredible amount of space and sheer square metreage of the property.

A palette of light, bright materials and contrasting textures helped transform a dreary Tuscan double-storey into a home that warmly welcomes friends and family.

Positioned in an affluent, leafy suburb of Cape Town, this home has been renovated solely with this young family in mind.

Despite building their new home on the principle of “utility first, aesthetics second” since breaking ground almost two years ago, the owners have found themselves living happily with both utility and aesthetics in equal measure.

An unsurpassed view and sense of space make for easy living at this holiday home.

Four years of intensive research – attending decor and design exhibitions, and filing magazine pages – helped this home owner create the house of her dreams.

A large open and inviting driveway welcomes guests into this neat, practical and environmentally friendly home.

Nature’s play with pattern, texture and colour was the inspiration for this spacious house, envisaged as a country retreat.

Your first impression on entering this golf-estate home is one of lightness and brightness.

Large, open-plan spaces with an interconnection between the inside and the outdoors was what these home owners were after.
