3. An eclectically African abode in Knysna for R15.85 million

This home in the Pezula Private Estate is modern and unique with clean lines, designed by architect Marinda Brymer to embrace lifestyle and nature, and is eclectically African.

Spacious entertainment areas and open-plan spaces flow together for comfortable living and entertaining, with the large swimming pool, expansive entertainment deck and balconies ideal for soaking up the glorious views. You can also enjoy sundowners around the fire pit.

“The site was very challenging due to the excellent 270-degree views, which made the site very exposed. It took a lot of consideration to make the project work. In the end the owners and ourselves were very happy with the outcome,” says Brymer.

The home offers four luxurious bedroom suites.

3. Effortless elegance in Three Anchor Bay for R5.995 million

The interior of this home in Three Anchor Bay has been completely redesigned to offer effortless, laidback living in a tree-lined, historical area.

Oozing understated elegance and character in such a prestigious location, the five bedroom en suite home was redesigned by interior architect Laurence Armand.

“My skill is to be able to visualise the property how I want to change it,” says Armand.

“How to be able extract the best features and make it work the way that I want it to. I like to use the existing materials and to source replacement or new material that best suits the style so that it keeps the original ambience.”
