While a contemporary house plan can present modern architecture, this contemporary home sports a
traditional exterior with craftsman touches and a modern open floor plan interior. The interiors feature
clean, straight lines, and a monochromatic colour scheme with minimal ornamentation. This home was
renovated with a dedication toward creating timelessness with a touch of practicality.
We struck a balance between creativity, practicality and beauty.
The kitchen was a careful collaboration between architect, joinery specialist and the client. Its light
stone surfaces and neutral floors give it a sense of calm stillness.
It boasts state of the art appliances with intelligent technology , to simplify modern, fast paced
living.
The spaces flow into each other with ease and harmony. Within the double volume foyer space, a
skylight brings a shaft of sunshine over a beautiful staircase with a wrought iron balustrade and a
carefully crafted timber handrail. The handrail was custom shaped by a master craftsman who followed the
curved line of the balustrade at the lower level. It is truly a masterpiece.
The bathrooms provide that feeling of being in a luxury spa, with its cool floating vanities and L.E.D.
glow behind the mirrors.
The existing façade was given a facelift with the installation of austere looking Ionic style columns at
the entrance gateway and front porch. The large glass windows allows for natural light to flood the
house bringing in the outdoor garden, and providing spectacular mountain views.
The rough concrete aggregate surface outside, provides texture and uniformity to the neutral tones
inside.
This house has evolved into a chic and fresh luxurious retreat.
