Set within a game reserve estate and surrounded by vast grasslands, this striking multilevel home was designed to blend seamlessly with its natural surroundings. The inspiration? To create a contemporary sanctuary that celebrates the landscape, connecting interior and exterior through panoramic views over the reserve.

At the heart of the home is an expansive entertainment deck, complete with a rim-flow pool, which provides the ultimate space to take in the surroundings while relaxing and appreciating the beauty beyond. Large glass panels open the living areas to the outdoors, allowing nature to flow in while letting the landscape outside become part of the interiors. Inside, the design brief focused on layering earthy textures and tones – timber, stone and natural fabrics – with pops of vibrant colour to bring energy and personality into each space. The interior has been tastefully decorated to harmonise with the natural setting, resulting in a home where calmness reigns supreme.
