Set in one of the most prestigious estates in the country, this contemporary home with an African and eclectic twist left these home owners with the feeling of “finally coming home” when they moved into their new dwelling.
Respecting the estate’s design rules, the home has an African feel to it, but at the same time, as a result of the owners’ design and decorative preferences, there is also a modern, eclectic ambience – giving these residents a unique space that they can be truly proud of.
The high ceilings that were built into the design of the home not only add value throughout but also give a sense of space as soon as you enter the house. Other construction elements that accentuate the aesthetics of the home include the use of wood on some floors and walls, as well as a few rough stone clad walls inside the home, marble travertine tiles and cemcrete finishes that all come together to create an earthy feel throughout the home.
Adding to the natural, earthy and tranquil feel that this home emits is the constant sound of running water that can be heard from the water feature positioned at the front of the house, as well as from the swimming pool that forms part of the entertainment area.
By using a few existing pieces of furniture that were inherited by the owners, as well as combining those pieces with items that were bought to suit the needs and style of these residents, all of the rooms throughout the home have an attractive appeal.
The distinctive appearance of the home was established through the use of a few antique pieces and collectables. These not only enhance the aesthetics of the home, but give the owners a platform where they can showcase their personalities.
Another design element that enforces the comfortable and tranquil atmosphere of the home can be seen in the treatment of the bedrooms – with each having its own bathroom, the personal feeling and sense of cosiness is also strongly felt in these areas.
