T
he use of exterior louvers influenced the design of the horizontal groove lines on the double
volume plaster wall in the dining room, to create interest and character to an otherwise
boring wall, which was further enhanced by low horizontal ledges with built in feature
fireplace and selected works of art. The paint colours were chosen carefully to complement one
another as well as rusted corten steel which added creative interest.
The staircase leading up to the first floor was further enhanced by the Floss hanging pendant lights
leading the eye vertically towards the double volume ceiling, creating an overall and pleasing
integrated area.
The swimming pool patio/braai area is encapsulated by a timber horizontally slatted feature
wall, which wraps up to the underside of the ceiling, beautifully lit and intentionally reflects back
into the black painted swimming pool with timber decking surround, which creates an illusion of
enclosing this space.
