Val de Vie House
Val De Vie Winelands Lifestyle Estate, Paarl
As the epitome of grandiose design within the Paarl landscape, this magnificent residence is instantly breath-taking. The archetypical multistorey double-pitched frame that stands at the entrance demands that you stop and take in the full effect of its detailing. The black steel frame that outlines the composition contrasts the beautifully delicate glass that spans the double-volume space, enticing you to what lies within the home. The solid stone wall and floating timber box creates stability and warmth, and ties effortlessly with the timber cladding that encases the inside of the steel frame. The rest of the façade takes its cue from the entrance; an elegantly balanced design that is simultaneously mesmerising and welcoming. The depth of the façade creates opportunities for pockets of tranquil outdoor spaces to exist, while the interior displays its presence through spacious and lavish rooms. Every part of this design deserves attention and appreciation, making the entire home a picturesque vision of beauty that is altogether captivating.
