The Design

About Arran Court Residensieel

Die ontwerper het 'n omgewing geskep wat beide esteties indrukwekkend en uitnodigend is, met mengsels van verskillende tekstuurmateriale wat gebruik word om 'n ryk en vertroostende atmosfeer te skep. Die sagte, gladde skakerings van ligte kleure komplementeer die okkerneuthout waarvan die eienaar hou, terwyl dit ook 'n warm en verwelkomende atmosfeer byvoeg. Die binnekant van die eenheid is noukeurig herorganiseer om 'n oopplan-leefarea te skep wat perfek in die behoeftes van die egpaar en hul harige familielid voorsien.

Design Challenge
Space:

The designer removed the internal walls to expand the living and dining room by 25 percent and even designated a room for helper. Say goodbye to cramped and awkward spaces and hello to a place that truly feels like your own.

Originally, a beam across the living and dining room marred the flow of the space, but the designer has expertly veiled it with a double ceiling, creating a seamless and visually stunning environment. To enhance the layout, designer avoided the use of large storage units that can make a room feel cramped and congested.

Experience the ultimate in indoor-outdoor living with a balcony that can be integrated into the living room with the use of folding glass doors. Open them up and let the natural light pour in, and enjoy the breathtaking mountain view from the comfort of your own home. No more cramped and stuffy spaces.
