The owner of this property describes the home as having a stark, modern exterior that belies a surprisingly inviting and genuinely warm interior, which welcomes you the moment you step inside. And, it is indeed a home offering the utmost comfort in modern and minimalist-designed spaces. “Beyond the physical design, what makes this home truly special is the lifestyle it enables. We’ve created a space that facilitates connection – with nature, with family and with friends. The design philosophy prioritises flexibility and adaptability, allowing the home to respond to our needs rather than constraining them,” the owner explains.
The main inspiration was to build an open, modern residence with a bushveld feel. The owners wanted a contemporary property that married all the comforts of modern living with one that also celebrates the veld, its animals and the distinctive sounds of nature. This vision, the owner mentions, is reflected throughout, particularly in the extensive use of sliding doors and glass elements. “This allows us to fully embrace the outdoors during the warmer months and host family and friends while immersed in the beauty of our country.”
