A home that brings the outdoors indoors is a home that closely connects people with nature.

A picture of serenity begins from the living room which looks out to the manicured gardens and swimming pool. Floor-to-ceiling windows swing out to let air and light in, while sheer curtains help to diffuse strong sunlight. The living space offers unusual orange armchairs from Poltrona Frau while plush modular sofas provide sumptuous seating. A wall fitted with glass shelves divides the living space and the dining area that enjoys lush views of the home’s other garden.

Even the ground floor study enjoys a verdant nook, a masculine interior decked out in dark wood shelving, another classic Poltrona Frau armchair, a Herman Miller office chair and a generous-sized custom-made writing desk. This look continues in the master bedroom: decked out in a soothing palette of greys, and with a bathroom decked in marble flooring, large mirrors and black drawers under the sink.

The masculine spell is broken in the walk-in wardrobe where the wife’s penchant for femininity is obvious: custom-made white vanity, shelving, mini chandelier, and a stand-alone mirror faceted four-drawer unit that doubles up as an island counter. One of the daughter’s rooms is characterised by a pink curtain that drapes elegance over the bed’s headboard, the has a gold damask wallpapered feature wall with matching gold-upholstered bed headboard. This modern home is fitted with a raft of technological trappings and decorative flourishes, but keeps the owners in touch with nature too.
