ANTONI ASSOCIATES’, the internal Design and Décor division of the long-lasting architectural firm SAOTA, latest project combines elegance and sophistication in a beachfront property located along one of the vital pristine white beaches of Cape Town, South Africa. The Client’s brief was to renovate a ground floor double level apartment in a newly constructed luxury complex. The apartment is entered at the lower ground floor where a proper entrance lobby was created by screening off the open plan kitchen. Here the designers introduced a screen wall with an enlarged portal window to create a view into the apartment.
Despite reducing the scale of the prevailing double volume a number of this was retained within the entrance hall that is enclosed by frameless glass. a brand new sleek white contemporary kitchen was integrated and flows into the formal dining and lounge area. A classy fireplace was placed within the formal living area and overall, there’s a simplicity and purity of form with a basic palette of black and white. An eclectic mixture of bespoke furniture and the situation of the Clients’ selection of South African art and sculpture gives the internal a curated experience.

According to the architects, “the layout of every apartment was designed to use the panoramic views. Interiors employ locally sourced materials inspired by the natural surroundings – stone, wood, glass and fur. It was important that each one apartments receive their individual identity while preserving the nature of the total building”. How would you touch upon the design approach for this Austrian mountain chalet? Do you think it blends in with the assumption of a comfy mountain retreat?
