‘Plants add softness to a space,’ says Lisa. ‘The rooms are large and using plants was a way to combat any starkness and to mirror the outside.’

BUY THE KEY PIECES

After many years spent living in Johannesburg, Lisa Storer and her partner Brad were keen to build a new home with a strong connection to the land. ‘It was time to shift gears, so we found a plot in a grassy region known as the Highveld, an hour from the city,’ says Lisa. Having left her role as a retail buyer to open an interiors and lifestyle store called The Storer, Lisa found it a challenge to juggle a new career alongside a new build. However with the help of architect Adrian Morris of Morris & Co, the couple devised their new home as a contemporary interpretation of a farmhouse with a pool and pavilion set away from the main building. ‘We looked at the landscape and the light first, which informed the design and interior choices,’ says Lisa. ‘It’s essentially three barn-like structures, hugging a central courtyard, with internal, glass-lined passages connecting them.’
