What is the Sandhurst Towers penthouse?
It is a triplex penthouse in central Sandton. The client wanted a smart home with tailored lighting and automation, and the design shows how a family can live calmly in the middle of a city.
“In effect, we created a wall-less 900 m² penthouse, with a garden, that gives the impression of levitating above the city mass.“
Without walls, the spaces flow into each other. The palette is black and white with exotic accents, and each zone has its own look through different furniture and one accent color per room.
What does the interior look like?
“The decor is contemporary, simple and elegant. We were not trend-driven but rather used modern designs that referenced classical elegance.
It’s not only about physical aesthetics, but more about energy and mood. Here, we managed to merge the functional, physical and emotive requirements of suburban living.”
“We created a continual flow from zone to zone, utilizing materials that emphasized the sense of space, transparency and reflection.
We introduced organic textural / tactile elements through the use of timber and flamed granite to soften and add a counterpoint to the contemporary drama.”
Who designed it?
SAOTA (Stefan Antoni Olmesdahl Truen Architects) designed the architecture and OKHA Interiors the interior, led by designer Adam Court. The house belongs in our Luxury Homes category.
