House in Zimbali


Craig and I had a site meeting for the House in Zimbali with the Architect, builder, the client and the airconditioning contractor to check the building progress and make some decisions regarding the interior and exterior appearance and functionality of the house.


Since the site meeting we have met with the electrician and some adjustmets have been made to the electrical layout. The work on site is progressing and we are busy at Jossi Design finalising the detailed designs such as the Staircase design, vanity units and Feature walls.

We have gone to tender on the kitchen and BIC designs and are expecting the tenders to be in on Monday. Another site meeting should be taking place shortly and we will continue to write about the progress as the project continues.

Showhouse in SA Homeowner Magazine

The showhouse at Palm Lakes Estate in Tinley Manor had a bit a of a revamp this week as it was being photographed for an editorial that will go into the SA Homeowner Magazine.


The Estate is growing rapidly with apartments springing up all over. The first Clubhouse, that Jossi Design is also working on, will be ready for furniture towards the end of August.


The Showhouse with its open plan entrance, lounge and kitchen has a lovely light and spacious feel. The dining room is made to feel slightly more private with the use of a lowered ceiling over this area.


The girls room is kept simple with the dominant use of white with pink as the accent. The boys room is playful with the bunk beds in white and blue, and lots of fluffy toys scattered around.


Finally the Main Bedroom is restful and romantic, with beautiful views of the garden and the estate, framed by eyelet curtains on shiny aluminium rods.

We took some photos when we were setting up for the photo shoot, look out for the article in the SA Homeowner.

We are now busy with the decisions regarding the finishes such as paint colours, floor finishes, glazing, shopfitting and signage. Wallpaper has been ordered as well as the furniture in preparation for the final decorating.

Jossi Design will keep checking the progress as part of our site supervision and photos will be posted periodically to show how the project is moving forward.

Jossi Design Birthday

Jossi Design celebrated our birthday the first week in July. It has been a long and hard 2 years but thanks to our incredible staff Jossi Design has been a great success in such a short space of time. We all look forward to what the next 2 years are going to bring.



We are currently working on a renovation of a house in Vause Road. We have totally redesigned the kitchen, son's bathroom and guest toilet to create a more comfortable and practical interior space.


Of course the aim is also to create a beautiful interior and we have put together fabrics, tiles, mosaics, paint colours and sanware which will all complement the interior.


The house is also being repainted and the Dining Room redecorated. We will keep you up to date with the progress and will post the final outcome after completion.
