Those who are fortunate enough to be invited into this magnificent home are greeted by undeniable style and comfort. Boasting superior finishes and detailing, clean and uncluttered architectural lines, this modern abode bears testimony to style and comfort.

For both the exteriors and interiors, the designs have been marvelously accentuated by a natural colour palette that has been contrasted by a deep earthy red. This, combined with wonderful textures created by the inclusion of various materials such as wood, glass and luxurious fabrics, amalgamates to form spaces that are chic and artistic. Superb attention to detail was given to all finishes, which is evident in features such as the phenomenal light fittings, flooring and ceilings adorned with contemporary bulkheads,

The owners’ appreciation and understanding for interior decor is wonderfully displayed in each room. The home is an eclectic mix of modern, classic and ethnic furniture and accessories. By paying attention to detail and carefully selecting complementary pieces, the owners’ have ensured that each room has a personality of its own.

The use of different artwork throughout the home breathes life into the spaces and adds a different dimension to each room.

The layout is open with distinct areas. There is a seamless flow between the living spaces and the outdoor entertainment area, and this guarantees fun for family and friends. This area boasts a bar, dining, and casual sitting area. Decorated in the same eclectic theme as the rest of the home, the patio can also be ingeniously closed off during the chilly months.

The landscape design follows the architectural style of the dwelling using simple and structured lines. Like the home, style meets functionality with a low- maintenance garden and a tranquil pool that has been framed with wooden decking.

This home is ideal for a modern South African lifestyle – it is a marvellous example of how style and sophistication can be combined to create the perfect home.
