Barefoot luxury living in Cape Town: Pearl Valley 276

Pearl Valley 276-Antoni Associates-01-1 Kindesign

Pearl Valley 276 has been designed by interior architecture firm Antoni Associates as barefoot luxury living on the exclusive Pearl Valley Golf Estate located near Paarl, just 30 minutes outside of Cape Town, South Africa. The home was designed for a young family re-locating to the Western Cape, looking to change from city living to a more relaxed country lifestyle in which to bring up their young family. Designed around a central pool, this home focuses on family entertainment with an emphasis on the use of natural materials. The interiors boast a sporty elegance and laid back coolness.

The owners approached Antoni Associates to create an interior that was modern but with an emphasis on โ€˜barefoot luxuryโ€™ and the use of natural materials. The design approach by Mark Rielly and Jon Case was to focus on the use of natural organic materials such as timber and stone. These tactile materials add a sense of homeliness and warmth to the contemporary architecture. Timber flooring was used throughout, which contrasts with the raw off-shutter concrete ceilings, warm stone and marble cladding.

The owners of this home love to entertain and wanted the house to reflect their lifestyle. The informal family spaces include an open plan kitchen, informal dining and open bar, all linked to the entertainment lounge. A feature marble clad two-sided fireplace divides and screens off the family lounge from the spa room. These areas of the house flow out onto the outdoor entertainment deck with a sunken outdoor boma (a typical South African outdoor enclosure). Here timber seating is casually arranged around an open fire.

The furniture is modern and complementary to the experience of the home. The clientsโ€™ love for color has been introduced with injections of bold prints and vibrant fabrics. Bespoke furniture from OKHA Interiors is featured throughout. A combination of bold and discreet lighting was used to create a โ€œwowโ€ factor and the layering of lighting set various moods. Subtle lighting has been incorporated in all recesses and feature bulkheads to give a warm glow to peripheral edges. Concealed lighting has also been used to highlight and accentuate the organic natural finishes.
