designer furniture enhances
the link with the past. But the
Marees and Bastiras have also
included appropriate modern
furniture, such as a B&B Italia
sofa, which is teamed with
a classic Eames chair and
Noguchi coffee table.
Wherever possible the
existing moulded square light
fixtures were left intact, further
enhancing the authenticity.
The visual connection with
the outdoors that is so much
a part of the house has been
reinforced with the renovation.
“We love the large doors
that open up the entire living
room and dining room to the
central courtyard,” says the
owner. “With such extensive
glazing, this has never really
felt like a small home.”
The original courtyard was
retained, but refreshed with a
new fountain water feature.

balustrading has improved the look
of the stairs. Similar timber creates
plenty of storage for a television
room, which can double as a
bedroom.
