brass metal Kudu head sculptures fixed above the banqueting seating . Hanging plants and art-deco inspired cabinetry mixed with old world books adds to the mood of the space .
Bedrooms and Bathrooms Bedrooms and suites have been designed with soothing shades of green that sit alongside stylish and enduring contemporary furniture pieces , all tied together with a bespoke circular rug . The rug has an image of succulents printed on it and has become the art piece in the room . For the designer the use of greens inside the rooms was a representation of the fact that the greater Johannesburg area is one of the largest man-made forests in the world and the aim was to bring the
‘ outdoors ’ into the space through the use of the green tones .
Lighting was very important in the bedrooms and the ambience created through the use of various lights and lighting details had to evoke emotions of tranquility whilst you enjoy a cup of coffee on the deep green velvet day bed overlooking beautiful cityscape views .
Fluted glass , terrazzo tiles , custom developed green grout between the bathroom tiles and an artdeco inspired custom vanity captured the essence of the bathrooms . The wall light along with soft LED lighting washes over the walls and fill the bathrooms with feelings of luxurious simplicity .
The creative inspiration for this project truly came from cerebrating all things South African .
