Interior Design

Interior Design by: DESIGN CREW

House 39 is a space that celebrates human scale, light and

simplicity. Natural elements are incorporated throughout –

from the views of the pool and garden sweeping into the

lounge and dining areas, to natural stone and sunlight

being invited into the interior through the large windows.

This house opens up the inside to the outside – and invites

the outside in. It celebrates nature and light. These natural

elements are carried through in choices of interior

furnishings and fi nishes – simple, natural yet contemporary

interior elements and colours induce a sense of calm and

serenity. This house is a subtle statement of style and grace.

Architecture plays a fundamental role as mediator in the relationship between man

and nature. Nature cannot be separated from architecture and our relationship with

it and experience of it is pivotal to our well being and to our state of mind. This home

is designed as a series of frames through which the beautiful natural surroundings

are experienced. The intention is to consistently keep the occupant aware of the

natural context in which the home sits, to constantly connect the occupant with their

surroundings visually through articulating views and physically through folding and

sliding doors. We believe the way light is brought into the home and the palette of

materials, colours and textures assist in making the home feel absolutely contextual

and appropriate in its environment. When you add all these elements together we

feel this house fi ts the South African and Serengeti lifestyle like a glove.
