Designing a new home is a completely different experience to renovating an existing home. Very often clients end up with a far larger home than they feel comfortable living in once completed, resulting in dissatisfaction and eventual selling. It is very important to contain ones ideas and realise that bigger is not necessarily better. One has to imagine oneself in the spaces designed and that is the job of the designer who must give constructive guidance here. It\u2019s often much more cost effective to renovate an existing home than it is to build a new home, as with building there are many hidden costs such as garden landscaping, perimeter enclosures, security, interior finishes which often are taken for granted in an existing home but form an integral part.<\/p>\n

Text from the article<\/strong><\/p>\n A French country style is what Wendy Holmes, the owner of this quaint home, wanted to achieve. An architect, interior designer and the owner of Living Design, she\u00a0developed the concept and house plan for the home.<\/p>\n \u201cWe wanted our home to have different textures in the finishes, hence the exposed brick walls and steel beams. The house had to be warm and welcoming, with as little waasted space as possible\u00a0and that is why there are no passages,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n Capturing the view of the golf course and dam in front of their home was on the top of the list, not to mention the importance of privacy.<\/p>\n The owners have managed to incorporate the best of all seasons with a living area that is\u00a0flexible. \u201cIn summer it feels part of the outdoors, as it opens up completely to the patio\u00a0and garden. In winter it can easily be made cosy with the fireplace, and best of all,\u00a0it\u2019s the central part of the house, so family and friends are always in touch,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n The modern, yet rustic, feel of the home is cosy and inviting. The kitchen, with it\u2019s wooden centrepiece, white countertops and modern conveniences, oozes home comfort and family fun.\u00a0The furnishings blend well. \u201cWe wanted to bring in the colours of the surrounding area, such as blues and greens, and we spent time choosing finishes that are natural, inviting and easy to live with,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” admin_label=”Mission” module_id=”about” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#dbdbdb” custom_padding=”22px||0px|||” custom_padding_tablet=”22px||0px|||” custom_padding_phone=”20px||50px||false|false” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row make_equal=”on” module_id=”about” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” width=”82%” max_width=”95%” custom_margin=”|auto|-30px|auto||” custom_padding=”0px||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”10px||60px||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”0px||0px||true|false” custom_padding_phone=”0px||0px||true|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”1ae147d4-b1d7-48e2-a5b7-1d9968a8076c” header_font=”Lato|300|||||||” header_2_font=”Lato|300||on|||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_font_size=”32px” header_2_letter_spacing=”2px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” custom_margin=”||-1px||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px|||” header_2_font_size_tablet=”32px” header_2_font_size_phone=”19px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”%91%93″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#b1bfbd” divider_weight=”5px” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”ce0e852d-65f7-4b50-97d9-c94701b6b484″ max_width=”210px” module_alignment=”center” height=”5px” custom_margin=”||15px||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”-22px||||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”-5px||||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”0px|||||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.livingdesign.co.za\/renovations-capetown\/contact-us\/” button_text=”contact us” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.25.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”19px” button_text_color=”#FFFFFF” button_bg_color=”#b1bfbd” button_border_color=”#b1bfbd” button_letter_spacing=”1px” button_font=”Poppins|||on|||||” button_text_size_tablet=”19px” button_text_size_phone=”16px” button_text_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Langebaan Country EstateFOR MORE INFORMATIOn
