Tranquil retreat

By Svenja Gernoth, Project Consultant Stacey Wright, Photography Grant Pitcher

Tucked away securely within the grounds of an upmarket eco-estate, these home owners enjoy not only a sense of security, but also a lifestyle embraced by nature at its finest.

Maximising that feeling of openness is a theme that transpires from the great outdoors into the home’s interior and a colour scheme of natural hues further accentuates that easy flow from one room to the next. However, each space has been highlighted by a splash of colour, masterfully creating interesting focal points and leaving a lingering impression of true design genius.

The full glazed porcelain floor tiles facilitate the incorporation of a range of coloured furniture and not only are these floors beautiful on the eye, but they are functional too as they allow the kids to run without slipping – even when something has been spilled.

Four spacious bedrooms allow each family member to relax in the lap of luxury while expansive windows maximise the picturesque views below. The master bedroom is generously accommodating and a striking feature wall against which the bed is placed adds depth and texture. The private balcony allows one to enjoy the lingering sunsets, and contemporary hanging chairs further enhance that overall feeling of comfort and luxury. With its en suite bathroom boasting a double shower and stunning his and hers basins, and a separate walk-in change room, this master suite is a true sanctuary for its inhabitants.

The outside area was created with entertaining family and friends in mind which is why folding screens were cleverly implemented should the weather not hold up. Balua timber decking adds warmth to this area and the outdoor wicker lounge suite and dining area are perfectly accommodating for fun-filled summer brunches. This area has also been linked to the home’s central sound system which allows the hosts to create the desired atmosphere for any occasion.

It is clear that this home was inspired by the natural beauty of its surrounding area.
