Zeanne + Goss, in collaboration with the clients of this home, designed the interior according to a neutral colour palette that would accommodate existing furniture and offer space for the growing family. Devised as a ‘Gallery Home’, it was built with clean lines and quiet walls and floors, ready for artwork from local artists to liven the space.
The exterior, on the other hand, needed to match the Architectural Guidelines of the estate. Calculating the levels of the home – to provide uninterrupted views of the landscape – was the predominant challenge at the start of the project. Zeanne + Goss settled on classical and contemporary façades, which gracefully meet the natural world – another kind of artwork, framed by arched windows and sliding doors.
The central living area has a sofa with seating facing all directions to accommodate the outside views while entertaining. Looking out, you will find nature’s artistic palette: purple-blue-ish mountains and vibrant green leaves painted into new rhythms by the wind.

Abstract and stylised paintings, next to balloon-like sculptures of dogs, set a playful, creative tone to the home.
The children were a central inspiration to many interior decisions, including the choice of two spectacular Galia Gluckman pieces in the entrance hall. The children’s lounge contains white furniture that is upholstered in easy-to-clean fabrics and provides a neutral contrast to some of the livelier toys. A colourful carpet brightens the space alongside matching wallpaper by Cara Savens.
Both the dining room and study table are from designer James Mudge who is well known for his meticulous exploration of timber. The furniture’s forms complement the bespoke Oggie flooring and its patterns. Other special interior features include a custom-made safari bed in the main bedroom.
