Situated in a secure gated enclosure and designed by renowned architect, Johann Slee, this property has striking architectural details, designer selections and earthy textures - delivering a home that has a beautiful lived-in family home feeling yet is simultaneously incredibly sophisticated. An eclectic modern home that sits in total harmony with its surroundings, leaving one to conclude that the collaboration between architect, builder & interior designer achieved its goal. The philosophy behind Johann Slee's design is to incorporate and respect the diverse aspirations and heritages of their clients; to learn from advanced technologies and to create vernacular architecture, embracing our unique people, skills, climate and space. The architectural palette of this home has its origin in the earth - muted earth colours, textured finishes reflecting abundant sunlight. The home reflects simplicity and honesty but on a level that makes the jaw drop. Upon entry you are welcomed by extra high ceilings & well-proportioned reception rooms with earthy cement based interior walls that feel alive with texture. The floors are bespoke hand cut sandstone tiles laid in herringbone pattern - a feature of Slee's designs. There are custom built shutters throughout the home that are specially built with internal frames for additional strength and security. This leads to an enticing covered patio - the first cantilevered roof the architect did and which is now a feature of his design. The 2 linked patios form an incredible entertainment area with braai and fire-pit surrounded by the indigenous landscaped garden and heated pool. Sliding doors that recede into the walls connect this outdoor space perfectly to the open plan kitchen and TV entertainment room - perfect for large gatherings. The well-equipped family kitchen includes a scullery/laundry with ample built in cupboards, a walk through crockery room, pantry and large island with hand cut sandstone tops. It also features a top of the range gas Ilve stove. This flows into the TV/family room as well as the lounge with a large wood burning fireplace - allowing for space & functionality. There is a private guest suite downstairs with en suite, separate loo, outside shower and doors onto the garden. A formal dining room with clever kitchen access, atrium and a wine room with sink, large wine fridge and storage. A sophisticated study with fireplace and garden views occupies a quiet and private space to work from home.
