Magnificent South African home breathes new life

 Moss Oaklands Residence is a stunning property in Cape Town, South Africa designed by studioNico Van Der Meulen Architects. The scope of the project was to remodel a 1950s residence, breathing new life back into the home and giving it more of an urban feel. Here is a brief descriptionof the project from the architects, “Alterations and additions were made to the original building to allow for four bedrooms and large entertaining areas.
The single-storey building allows for large double volume spaces and flat roofs have been used in the alteration to keep vertical expansion in mind for the client’s future. In keeping with the owner’s brief to have a home with an urban and open feel, the interior and exterior entertaining areas have been blurred by sliding stacking doors that open up the whole facade. By using a neutral palette, the company was able to create a warmenvironment by bringing in touches of color through rich and bold accessories and furnishings.”What do you think of this fabulous South African home?
