We decided to leverage the arresting brick detail, and complement it with a blend of warm natural tones in the interior design; including oak, terracotta brick and marble, as well as olive green and opaque glass. We recommended removing unnecessary walls which took up valuable space, resulting in an open-plan living space spilling onto the scenic garden. This was strengthened by a strong axis leading your eye from the entrance, all the way through, to the back garden. The existing dressing room of the main bedroom was converted to an extra bedroom and two en suites

Our clients' are passionate about collecting wine. We converted a covered patio, optioned at the centre of the home, to an enclosed tasting room and entertainment area, with the living space leading off it with the use of large cavity sliding doors.
