La Lucia House Update

Another update on the House in La Lucia: Above is a photo we took of the lounge area. The use of travertine tiles, stainless stainless steel and soft carpeting combine to create an open but comfortable entertaining space.

The lighting has been specifically chosen to create feature in certain areas, whereas in other spaces the lighting is purely functional.While the interior design and decorating of the rest of the house is very contemporary in nature, the main bedroom is alot warmer and traditional in nature. This is mainly due to the fabric chosen, the use of wallpaper behind the headboard and in panels on the Built in Cupboards, and the use of more classical furniture.

La Lucia House

The house in La Lucia is taking shape very nicely. Bedroom 4 is complete, the last finishing touches here is the bed linen, otherwise arwork has been installed, as well as lamps, lampshade and curtains. The sprayed supawood, dark stained oak combined with stainless steel finishes have created a fantastic contemporary feel.

The fabric artwork panels were especially made for this room. Jossi Design chose the fabric when looking at the bedroom finishes, and had our contractor make up the panels for us. These panels are off-centered to the one side above the headboard, the light from the clerestory window above creates a great effect against the panels.

Finally the headboard was installed in the Main Bedroom on Friday so we should be able to take some more photos next week and will keep updating the progress on site.

Furniture Design

A large part of our service is designing items of furniture that will suite the style of the house or the requirements of the client.

Each project is so unique, each client's needs so different that we are often design furniture to suite that particular job. Once we have done the initial design, we send the drawings off to our shopfitters for quoting. Once the item has been priced, and the quote accepted by the client, the shopfitter gets started on making up the item of furniture.

Once the item has been manufactured it is up to the shopfitter to install the item in the clients house. Jossi Design will then check the item on site to ensure that it is snag-free.

Kizo Evening

The Kizo Art Gallery at Gateway held a presentation evening for those people who are building at Hawaan Forest Estate in Umhlanga. Jossi Design was invited to set up a stand for the event.

We worked hard to set up a stand in a short space of time, but Bronwyn and Craig managed to put an awesome stand together.

We were very proud of the overall effect, the evening was very enjoyable with a presentation on the estate and it was good to see such a great turn out.

The Cocktail Bar

We are onto an exciting new project, a new cocktail bar at the Point Development. Our brief is to create an upmarket, sofisticated, and slightly intimidating cocktail bar for over 21's.



The client has requested all plans and elevations to be completed within 2-3 weeks, therefore we are busy working on these drawings over the public holidays. We have come up with an awesome colour, fabric and finishes scheme and we cannot wait to see the final outcome.

The interior space is incredibly high, allow for a mezzanine to be installed with a private lounge, bar and DJ booth on this level. This will also create amazing double volumes, allowing us to drop pendants and features into the space below.

All-in-all it is an exciting project and we look forward to seeing the space take shape.
