The client wanted a simple apartment where he could spend time on holidays or while working in Cape Town. I concentrated my proposal on maximizing the space and creating enough storage to suit his needs. I selected materials that are easy to maintain and that won’t outdate easily. The design is uncluttered - bringing tranquility and calm into the middle of the city. 

I found these semidetached old houses beautiful but impractical. The floor plan is usually elongated and narrow. I wanted to create open spaces where my client could socialize. Without removing the character of the house, I connected some of the rooms. By doing so, I created a more fluid transition between various spaces, allowing for a vivid interaction between the kitchen and the lounge. 

Partly renovation, partly restauration, this is the result of a project I completed after a devastating fire destroyed 70% of this flat. I sourced or remade all the original elements of the building. I also added some contemporary furniture into the mix. I altered the original floor plans slightly to improve the circulation and use of each space. 

With every project I develop a selection of custom-made furniture. Here are some examples that can be readjusted to suit a range of spaces and environments.
