Your Home is your castle

Helping him bring these quirky elements together made it a fun project. The home is on three levels, though like a ship, the lower level containing an extensive garage, workshop and wine cellar is below the ‘water’ or fence line. Ship chain links surround the garden and a porthole peeps out from the front. Above, a full cinema, an entertainment terrace with barbecue kitchen, raised pool and multiple bedrooms is a party, guest and teenager’s space. Conceived as a separate adult apartment, the upper floor is a dedicated retreat. Connecting each level, a lift is inset with coins on the floor which the client laid. Rugged, eclectic, yet refined, this very personal project to all involved.
