Brass brings understated style and class to our featured Top Billing dream home by Kyle Roux!
Kyle Roux and his team created almost every feature of his latest renovation from scratch and the result is that it is more art than house.
Like a climber pitching their tent on the side of a mountain, this re-build would not be easy. The owners bought for the view and were after ease of living for four generations of a family who often visit, one team had to make it all happen.
The change of shape from a room of straight lines into the spiral staircase, is introduced by the subtle curve of this LED bulkhead. From there, the granite treads are supported in a steel frame which hangs by a series of stainless steel tension cables. These are suspended from a lotus-inspired skylight above.
Kyle is a champion of top, local talent like industrial designer Charles Haupt.
The top floor is proof of a couple who know that at least one, key factor in a long, happy relationship is each having a space they can call their own. Kyle balanced both with an understated, organic feel.
While the design is sophisticated, it is subtle, and never pretentious and artist Catia Baptista was commissioned to reflect that in the paintings she created for the house.
The owners enjoy their privacy but are equally sociable, and with their family now extending to great grandchildren, they asked Kyle to make the outdoor areas safe, fun and water-wise.
Everything has come together in time for a seventieth birthday party here and after nearly fifty years together, the owners clearly know how to live and party in style.
Kyle was born and raised in Zimbabwe, he made his name in South Africa, works around Africa and he’s a credit to the entire continent.
