Of top priority to the owners was maximum utilisation of space, where living and entertainment areas would provide practical solutions such as an abundance of space, as well as north-facing positions. The house was transformed from having four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a study to a modern open-plan house.
Expertly built by Nicholas Smith of Breas Construction and Project Management, this house was literally turned around, allowing all living areas to face north. It now has two bedrooms plus a games room, while the bathrooms were retained and the study repositioned.
The new design allowed for several additional pleasures such as a beautiful new kitchen with stylish dark cabinets offset against pristine CaesarStone tops.
The entertainment area was transformed through two major additions – the installation of a designer built-in braai, and the innovative positioning of a Jacuzzi. When they designed the outdoor patio and braai area, the owners realised that placing the Jacuzzi underneath the decking would provide the most practical solution to maximise space.
This wonderful transition from apartment living to a modern open-plan house provides its owners with a lasting lifestyle of convenience and comfort.
