Apartment at Westbrook Beach

The holiday apartment at Westbrook beach is complete. The final touch was added yesterday (Friday 24th April) and we managed to take some photos of the final result.


The Lounge makes use of various shades of green, and this is emphasised by the large artwork on the wall above the couch. The reading chair is accentuated by the tall freestanding lamp and glass side table with white vase.



The rug serves as the final touch adding texture and elegance to the lounge while also defining the space.


The lounge server floats on the wall to create an impression of space, this is combined with the silver framed mirror above which reflects the light in the room. The side TV unit is designed to work well with the floating server by using the same finishes in its design.


The Guest bedroom is restful and tasteful in design. The colours reflect the green from the lounge but these are more muted colours, which goes well with the dark wood of the bed and bedside pedestals. A unique mirror above the bed becomes a feature with the lamps and frames on either side of the bed adding a bit more interest.


The daughter's room is simple yet fun with the splashes of pink and the inspirational canvas artwork above the bunk beds.


As with the other furniture in the apartment, the dressing table was designed by Jossi Design, adding to the idea of 'fun' within this room. This unit is of white sprayed supawood with the back of the shelving painted in the pink colour we have used for the accessories within the bedroom.



The Main Bedroom is elegant and uses pale blues and silvers in the accent colours, which reflects the view of the sea from the sliding doors. It is a very relaxing interior, the fabrics used are luxurious which emphasises that this is the Main bedroom! Again mirrors above the bed have been used instead of artworks as this works very well with the accent colours.


The patio furniture is simple with the cushions and accessories used being shades of bright blue/ aqua colours. The white lantern adds some interest to the space and this rests on woven round ottomans which are stacked up but can be used as additional seating for childern.



The interior design of this apartment has been tremendous fun and we at Jossi Interior Design are very proud of the outcome.

Time was short and with the IPL (Indian Premier League) starting early this week we had alot to do. The photos are of the box in its original state when Jossi Design was briefed. Photos of the finished product will be published shortly as we were not able to get access to the suite on Tuesday due to the first game starting later in the day (obviously security at the stadium comes first).

Jossi Design is also working on the renovation of a corporate suite within Kingspark (ABSA) Stadium. We are very excited about these projects as sport is an important part of South African culture and we are glad to do our part - creating welcoming and exciting interiors that we can all enjoy.

Fetish Cocktail Lounge

Fetish Cocktail Lounge is located within the Sails building at the Point Waterfront. This upmarket lounge has a vibrant and elegant interior with the lighting and fabrics important design elements.
The concept design was done by Jossi Design working closely with the client bring their vision to a reality. The result is truely elegant yet very exciting. Private areas are created by lowering the ceilings and creating intimate lighting, the low couches, ottomans and coffee tables are all modular to easily move them around depending on how people wish to sit.


The main bar is truely amazing with the combination of coloured lighting and glass being the main feature. Colour is important in accents to create areas of interest.


The first floor bar shown above has a front designed to use only bevelled mirrors, creating interesting reflections and picking up on the lighting in the space.

The double volume space is truely amazing as there is a constand view of the long and brightly lit bar, with the woven pendants creating more visual interest. The lounge is open Friday and Saturday evenings from 8pm till late. The venue is also available for private hire.

HOUSE IN ZIMBALI

Our site visit to Zimbali House last week went off well, there is alot of work still to be done however this home is starting to take shape. The extensive truss system for the roof will remain exposed and visible from the first floor. The Timber trusses will be stained and sealed and will reflect the floating timber floor.

Platerboard bulkheads will conceal the framework of the roof structure at the windows and we are planning on using recessed curtain pelmets designed into the bulkheads so that a soft voile or curtain can be used at the vast extent of windows without any visible fixings being used.

The views from the first floor of the house are stunning, the house is designed to have glass folding doors right around the living area of the house located on the first floor. This makes great use of the views and as the doors can fold away the verandah can become part of the house when entertaining.


Futher photos of this exciting project will be posted again in the next few months. Look out for our recent mention in the Berea 'Get It' magazine, there are some useful tips on decorating do's and dont's.

House on Tinley Manor Beach

The House in Tinley Manor is progressing with the indoor heated pool being the focus of design attention at the moment. The photos show the conversion of the existing outdoor pool into the enclosed space where water features and casual seating areas will need to be created.

The second pool, which has extensive views of the sea and leads off from the gym area will be surrounded by decking and will include a jacuzzi. The 5 bedroom house is going to be magnificent when completed.


The first floor landing has feature recess walls which have been tiled with small glass mosaics which have a blue tinge and on closer inspection look to have water dropslets inside each mosaic.


There is still a way to go in finishing the indoor area before the furniture, curtains and carpets can be installed. We are looking forward to completion so we can see the full effect of the overall design of this beautiful home.
