ARCHITECTS PROJECTS
" I wanted to create a family friendly home that was inviting , exotic , beautiful and most importantly comfortable ."
Each room serves a purpose and the upper terrace as an example is perfect place watch the sunset while lounging and enjoying company with the option to open or close the Uhlmaan umbrellas as an example that withstands winds of 102km an hour . The furnishings are at the top of their quality and materials and with brands such as Kettal the outmost luxurious outdoor company and my favourite , Henge , Holly Hunt , Minotti . Handmade on paper with charcoal by Roberto Longo is a powerful piece located in the front door and some oil on canvas in a very large scale by Michael Smith and other artists throughout the house .
IS THERE ANY UNIQUE BACKGROUND TO THE PROJECT AND HOW IT CAME TO BE ?
The goal was to build a contemporary house in a neighbourhood that is surrounded by more traditional and Mediterranean architecture . The house really stands out and has the “ wow factor ”.
