This home has been completely reimagined from floor to roof through an architectural transformation by Gwen Swan Interiors.
Achieving such a distinctive blend of Japandi (Japanese + Scandinavian) serenity and natural materials with the moodier, textural elements of Industrial design requires true international design expertise, resulting in a uniquely crafted home rarely discovered in South Africa.
Position:
Gordons bay is 44 Kilometers (24.8 miles) from Cape Town international airport, has stunning coastal scenery, spectacular sunsets, where the Heldeberg mountains meet the sea and offers safe Blue Flag beaches. The house is in a peaceful pocket of Gordon’s Bay Village, removed from the busy tourist zones yet only 300 m from the beach.
Sensible layout:
3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms tucked away for privacy and serenity.
The main bedroom has its own reading room, or nursery if so needed for a young couple with a new born.
Convenient, direct access from the open parking area to the side entrance near the kitchen.
Lounge looks onto a private, small, easy to manage garden and braai area.
Premium, natural finishes and bespoke craftsmanship:
The home’s finishes are timeless, high-end, and carefully selected to complement the Industrial-Japandi design ethos.
Livingstone-Kholer contemporary, elegant freestanding baths, and complementary basins offer the ultimate in comfortable bathing.
Natural granite sets an exclusive tone in the kitchen, with a Bosch black fridge (worth R21 000.00 – negotiable if included in sale) pairs with subtly integrated matching black appliances in the open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area.
The finition is mahogany, meranti and zebrano with the front door being a pivot 350 Kg zebrano wood that has a striking, bold appearance resembling a zebra's stripes. All windows, French doors and stacking doors are charcoal aluminum providing a contemporary feel.
Meranti and mahogany share a similar reddish-brown color range which naturally darkens and becomes more lustrous over time.
The dappled light dining room chandelier is a Frans Alexander design made from jacaranda pods and crystals worth R35 000.00 . All overhead lights are dimmable.
Security:
There are surveillance cameras in the street, ensuring further security for a lock n go lifestyle.
