Interiors: A Contemporary South African Beach House

Contemporary South African Beach House [South Africa]  

Contemporary South African Beach House Exterior - Living etc

Inspired by nature, a beach house in South Africa is unique and stylish in its simplicity. The exterior of the building was what caught my attention as the finished appearance is quite unusual. Designed to have a low impact on its surroundings, the building features cladding and shutters made from the wood of eucalyptus trees that have been bound together and hand twisted with brass wire.

Huge folding glass doors that let maximum amounts of light flood in, give way to a patio that has spectacular views over the ocean and mountains and allows for al fresco dining. An open plan living room and kitchen, work to create a light and airy seamless space. Furnished with simple elegance, the emphasis on nature and relaxation carries through to the interior decor, which is defined by a fairly neutral colour scheme that is clean and functional, softened by the incorporation of organic natural objects and finds from India and across Africa. Concrete floors throughout add to the feeling of coolness and gently contrast white plain walls and the sandblasted pine splashbacks, counters and cupboard doors in the kitchen area.

A pool with a waterfall adds to the harmony in what looks like a restful, beach hideaway.
