A DREAM COME TRUE IN THE HEART OF BUSTLING JOHANNESBURG

- JO BORRILL

One of the most cosmopolitan areas in Johannesburg is where this family chose to settle as “it was close to our son’s school and the entertainment hub”, says the owner.

This home’s concept revolved around multiple courtyard living where every space was designed to lead out to exterior spaces. This strong yet simple concept provides maximum natural light, carefully juxtaposed against the extensive use of heavy concrete. The addition of glass and timber accents further softens the aesthetic appeal. The company’s design approach is different, with each client being highly involved in every step of the process. Design emphasis revolves around interactive 3D visualisation from start to finish.

This young family decided to demolish the original property they bought and went on to give it a complete facelift, perfectly in tune to what they had always wanted.

Simply By Design specialises in decorative finishes pertaining to walls, floors and furniture. The brief received by the owner was to add warmth and colour to the en suite bathrooms, bringing the rugged concrete from the exterior into the home without making it appear cold and uninviting. The company worked its magic and achieved this result flawlessly.
