1. Casa á Beira mar

Named “Casa á Beira mar” – Portuguese for “house by the sea”, this elaborate 750m2 modern four-bedroom home is situated in a prestigious golf estate along the northern coast of KwaZulu-Natal. The design, according to the architect, sought to create a vision in harmony with the site itself, the estate streetscape, the relationship to the neighbouring properties and the estate’s design guidelines.

2. Comfortably Connected

This marvellous property offers its residents the best of both worlds – they can live their daily lives in comfort and, at the same time, can host guests in elegant and open spaces that lend themselves to easy entertaining. “Every element, from the flow of the spaces to the materials used, was chosen to reflect a modern, sophisticated aesthetic while maintaining a warm, homely feel that would stand the test of time,” explains the interior designer.

4. Laidback Luxury

Set within an estate offering panoramic mountain views and abundant wildlife, this home has been designed to be immersed in its natural surroundings. “The owner wanted the space to have a strong indoor-outdoor connection, yet still feel intimate enough to be private,” explains the designer.

7. A Modern-Day Mansion

Located in one of Gauteng’s prime golf estates in Blair Atholl, this five-bedroom, five-and-a-half bathroom home is currently on the market, waiting for a family to claim it as theirs. The property, which has never been lived in, is kitted with all the conveniences and amenities one could dream of – it is a modern-day mansion and an architectural marvel.

8. The Perfect Fit

Having purchased this property in its original form, the owners felt that it needed a renovation to meet the needs of their family. “While the original design was not our own, we appreciated the potential of the general flow and the spatial planning that enabled the designation of defined spaces,” explains the owner. These spaces, he adds, remain flexible enough to adapt to the family’s needs as it evolves. After some work on the property, the home is now the perfect fit for the residing family where everyone’s needs and requirements are catered for in a stylish and luxe environment.
