StefanAntoni Olmesdahl Truen Architects and OKHA Interiors Cape Town-based architects
and interior designers have designed the Nettleton 199 house. The chic home can
be found in Clifton, Cape Town, South Africa.
According
to OKHA Interiors: “The brief was to create a building that maximized the
connection with the view and the sea, establish a garden that connected to the
mountain side of the site and to minimize views over neighbouring buildings.
The result is a contemporary South African property that provides a
volumetrically dramatic and dynamic interior space on a grand scale and one
that feels coupled to both the ocean and mountain elements.
“The
luminous interior design creates a soft and intimate counterpoint whilst not jeopardizing the dramatic and clean, geometric lines of the architecture. These
contrasting décor and architectural elements harmoniously co-exist and work off
each other to great effect. The canvas like slabs of pure white wall mold and
delineate the interior spaces and also provide a consistent gallery feel
throughout, as such art and sculpture play a pivotal role in personalizing the
interior and act as an inspirational interactive catalyst between building,
location and in habitation.” Images courtesy of SAOTA.
