The house is raised above the natural ground creating the illusion of floating above the landscape.
This prestigious abode’s entrance, magnificently constructed in glass, adds to the contemporary design of the structure.
The pristine identical staircases on either side of the entrance hall, magnetically usher one upwards. The ingenious designs of the separate staircases not only exhibit fantastic visual elements, but also allow privacy for the main bedroom, from the rest of the home. The main bedroom and bathroom are separated by a marble island containing the basins and a fireplace, opening up and extending out towards the balcony.
The warmth of the home can be seen in the astute planning of the architectural design, and with the ingenious incorporation of the interior decor. Pale and neutral hues fill the interior bringing with them a sense of peace and tranquillity.
Minimalistic design permeates the home, beautifully complemented by high rising windows allowing in a plethora of natural lighting, further enhancing and contributing to the serene feel of the home itself.
The double volume ceilings further create the feeling of space within the home. The inventive use of water throughout the home contributes to the peaceful atmosphere – the spill-over water features and pool, as well as an indoor splash pool, including the strategically placed underwater windows, offer views into the respective water features, creating a flawless seamless flow throughout the entire home.
This home is truly a home owner’s dream. It boasts an outstanding entertainment area consisting of a room used solely for the purpose of viewing movies in sheer comfort and class.
This home is a testament to contemporary architecture – the best of both, combining elegance and class with comfort and style.
