A Home That Speaks of Prestige, Security & Timeless Beauty in Umhlanga
This emaculately maintained home is defined by clean lines and modern materials creating a living space that is both visually captivating and functionally efficient.
The aesthetic narrative follows the amalgam of contemporary elements with a touch of Indian form by incorporating styles and details of developing market trends as well as styles and details unique to Indian culture.
No cost has been spared in designing this stunningly beautiful home and several service providers include award winning companies.
From the outside, as one journeys into this home, the beautifully manicured garden with wide array of plants and trees in and outside is noteworthy.
Mindful of security in the current South African era, you then drive under an imposing industrial roll up boundary gate whose chequered slats are visually appealing and permits some visualisation of persons on the outside. Further security includes high boundary wall, eight wire security fencing, beams, cameras, Trellidoor clearguard on almost all windows and doors and other access points. The stainless steel woven mesh of Clear Guard provides high level see-through security without blocking the view.
The inside garden, in addition to a host of varied plants and palm trees, currently boasts thirty four different rose plants providing a kaleidoscope of colours when blooming, orchard containing five different trees and a large L-shaped cladded plant box.
Still within the property but outside the home, are three wrought iron beautifully crafted decorative customised gates, one of which could double up as a security gate.
The walkway around three facades is also unique and customised in form of individually manufactured travertine pebbles and stairway cladding laid by an artist. Interspersed amongst the pebbles are laser cut impressions of SA’s big five paw prints, fruits and vegetables along vegetable box, leaves along length of southern façade and butterflies along eastern façade around pool and Jacuzzi.
The travertine theme is continued in all indoor common areas with interspersed marron emperador marble laser cut roses, stars and ribbons starting outside main entrance and three inside stairways. Safety when using the stairways is ensured by accentuating the rises of all stairways with marron emprador marble mosaics. Outside stairway rises have a similar finish for same reason.
The expansive openness is mainitained by the clever use of patterned listellos that closely match the travertine colour.
The short entrance hall is absolutely enchanting with an explosion of above cut-outs and a curly ribbons pointing towards the various areas ie Prayer Room, kitchen, main lounge, dining room, study, bedrooms, etc.
Throughtout most of the home, the aesthetics follow the chocolate brown - beige tones and the décor introduces other colours.
Walls are accentuated with different paint colors, paint finshes, marble tiling, wallpaper, etc.
Entrance hall leads into the main lounge that is large, expansive and free-flowing. The eye-catching feature wall has travertine cladding (also laid by an artist) and enhanced by two marble murals of swans in water. Two simple but very effective wall lights provides soft lighting.
Pillars enhance the sophistication with travertine cladding and marron emprador marble accentuation at both ends.
The three skylights have also been beautifully tiled with added finishes turning them into features on their own. Additionally, the study skylight has retractable blinds.
The common areas of two lounges, dining room, study, two bathrooms and one bedroom have customied designer ceilings further accentuated with a wide array of predominantly glass downlighters. Throughout the home, inside and outside, choice of lighting is not duplicated.
One of two kitchen entrances, the lounges, study and one bedroom also has solid wood shutters for enhanced aesthetic appeal.
Draperies are combination of fixed and mobile and highlighted by carefully selected stunning tie backs and rods with different ornate finishes.
Whilst the brown and beige hues continue into the Prayer Room, the sculptures have intricate decorative details of ancient temple architecture.
The study is portioned on two facades with stacking glass doors.
