Down to earth architects & interiors 083 286 4455 After working with these home owners on a previous home, Down To Earth Architects & Interiors was commissioned with designing their new home too. The design of this build mimics some of the design element of the owners’ first home, but with new energy-efficient systems. The firm managed the entire process from inception to concept design and execution.

With pool safety and security at the forefront, Designer Pool Covers was chosen to install an automatic safety pool cover for this home’s pool. The client requested an integrated safety solution to cover the pool that would safeguard the pool and complement the aesthetic of the pool and outdoor entertainment area. From its vast range, Designer Pool Covers installed the PoolLock Automatic pool cover with a V4 hydraulic mechanism, hydraulic power pack, pocket tracks, under tracks, a light grey PVC vinyl cover and tiled lid system.

When these home owners set out to build their second dream home, there was more to the plan.

The owner shares: “Our family dream started taking shape when my late mother’s and my safety was an issue. Mom and I decided that within 10 years we would change the way we drove from our homes in Pretoria to our business out at our herbal centre in De Wildt, North West. After running the farm for more than 33 years together, we needed to build around our family and be next door to one another, refocus our intentions on rare fruit, vegetable and medicinal gardens and then above all create our dream of the fragrant ‘Hanging Gardens of Babylon’, a garden we had not ever done before.
