House Wood Interior
BedroomThe bedroom was themed in a modern French style and the Headboard wall was a central design concept - clad in Parisian wallpaper. Go to TOP-ARCHITECTS for more examples of interior and exterior inspirational architecture.
|
StairwellThe stairwell was designed to fill a double volume entrance hall. A few bright furniture elements in dusty purple and shocking pink add fun and flavor. Visit PLOTSFORSALECAPETOWN to purchase a similar stand and create your own country home.
|
LivingThe super size fireplace and hearth is a focal point of the living area, and the kitchen cupboards are a light beige to not compete with the focal points. Go to CAPETOWNSPLENDOUR to view other magazine articles on design principles.
|
BathroomThe bathrooms in house wood were designed with minimal clutter. A large stand alone bath is the clear centerpiece of the space, and is inviting for unwinding after a long day at work. Go to ARCHITECTCOMPANIESCAPETOWN for a directory of other architects working in the area.

CourtyardA key outside space for House Wood was the central courtyard around which all the buildings conglomerated. Planters and paving provide a hard surface out of which plants are growing and softening the space. You may also like RESIDENTIAL-ARCHITECTS where there are more great design ideas.
