A single story home in South Africa remodeled with a contemporary urban feel. It’s what architecture firm Nico van der Meulen Architects have been commissioned by the client. The house itself was a 1950′s house, and now redesigned into a timeless modern space and a much better flow.

As a result of an impeccable renovation, the house is divided into public and private spaces. To enter the private areas of the home, one must cross a bridge above a new internal water feature which breaks the public and private spaces, separating the entrance hall and study from the private home. In keeping with the owner’s brief to have a home with an urban and open feel, the interior and exterior entertaining areas have been blurred by sliding stacking doors that open up the whole facade.

The interior design part was brought by M Square Lifestyle Necessities whom saw every house interior detail. The prominent interior planes were utterly balanced through the use of specifically chosen furniture and artwork, to create a liveable, relevant and expressive home.

Neutral palette is used to create a warm environment by bringing in touches of colour through rich and bold accessories and furnishings such as the Domino coffee table and bold flower pattern ottoman. Natural wood elements articulate texture and depth; while essential to the welcoming ambience of the home, the correct styling enhances each room and brings the architectural design to a full and complete circle.
