The Concept Design.

A modern farm-style home with a classic red brick exterior and steel roof. The facade consists of contrasting textures such as steel, timber and rock cladding, giving the home warmth and allowing it to blend beautifully with its natural surroundings of bushveld and mountain views.

Floor Plan Design.

We designed an open-plan living and dining space with a separate wash-up and scullery area for the kitchen that leads to an art studio tucked away behind the garage. There are three en-suite bedrooms down the hallway from the kitchen, all with stunning views of the mountain range in the Marakele National Park.
