Designed to reflect the indulgent lodges that South Africa is renowned for, this home effortlessly marries rugged elegance with refined sophistication, blending natural textures, earthy tones and warm light, explains the interior designer, who oversaw the creation of this property. She adds that the end result showcases spaces that are warm and inviting, a home that exudes easy style and comfort and provides the perfect retreat for its residents.
The goal was to give the owners a home that would feel like a five-star luxury lodge, one that needed to blend seamlessly into its natural surroundings, making the most of its unique structure and breathtaking greenbelt views. “By embracing the existing architecture and emphasising the connection to nature, we have created a masculine, rugged retreat that offers warmth and sophistication,” the designer remarks.
