This home boasts perfect symmetry reflecting the contemporary architectural style of the 21st century. The home owners gave the architect an open mandate to work with glass, steel, wood, stone and water, to create an atmosphere reflective of the natural elements.
This modern-day, stylish home is equipped with two double garages, a soothing water feature, a bar, pool table, jetted spa, as well as open-plan design and numerous opulent and luxurious finishes and furnishings. The entertainment area overlooks the immaculate pool and garden, as well as opening up to a jetted spa. Minimalist in design, the living spaces exude a tranquil ambience, punctuated only by the soft murmur of the serene water feature. The bedrooms follow a simple theme, as do the bathrooms, one of which includes a frameless shower, beautifully complemented by the high-rise windows in the room.
The residents didn’t feel the need to hire a decorator and took responsibility themselves, creating a home that is an inspired work of art. The decor makes use of a neutral palette – earthy tones, combined with rich, dark wood and texture, are perfectly complemented by the soft, lighter furnishings and creative use of commingling steel and glass. The light fittings are artistic ornaments in their own right. Like a well-planned theatre production, the set has been creatively lit to accentuate and highlight certain areas, offering a depth and personality to each living space.
Absolutely everything, from the polished and refined nature of the architecture, to the well-chosen furnishings and interior decor, brilliantly reflect the personality of the home owner, creating not only a stylish home, but a comfortable one as well.
