Comprising natural materials such as the A-frame thatched roofs, concrete slabs and an abundance of wood and glass, this abode exudes serenity and comfort, perfectly fusing with the picturesque bushveld that embraces it.
The interior of the home was strategically designed to create a sense of spaciousness, following an earthy palette in assorted shades of brown, beige, orange and green, and materials such as stone, wood, leather and coir are incorporated within the furniture and decor to add texture. The owners’ brief to Peacocks Nest Interiors and Nico Joubert Projects was simple – they wanted a home in which to entertain, with just a hint of an African feel, but with the same luxury as their city house.
With large outdoor decks, an invigorating rim-flow pool, fire pit and braai area, and a 180° view of the serene surroundings, this home comprises all things luxurious. An open-plan kitchen and dining room encourages family participation, and large folding doors in the dining room, TV room and all the bedrooms open onto the wooden decks . The utmost attention was given to even the smallest of details and each decorative or furniture piece was selected with great care.
Seamlessly embraced by an exquisite landscape complete with wildlife and never-ending views, this home is a true reflection of luxurious comfort and simplistic style.
