This modern residence uses strong outlines and a layered façade to create a strong first impression that is highlighted by the use of off-shutter concrete and face brick. The entrance canopy that deftly interrupts the double-pitch façade becomes a welcoming feature that encourages movement through the front door into the double-volume foyer. The house unfolds effortlessly towards the garden space, opening up with floor-to-ceiling glass onto the timber deck by the pool. Overhead, the pitched pergola structures provide subtle shading while creating a feature detail that extends the roof outline and gives the house a grandiose quality. Generously-sized bedrooms upstairs are accompanied by balconies that are designed for privacy and relaxation while overlooking the garden and view of the Magalies mountains. Downstairs, the living spaces feed into one another creating a relaxed, open-plan layout with a beautiful kitchen poised and ready for gourmet meals and nights of entertaining.
