Apartment on Marine Drive, Umhlanga

The apartment on Marine Drive in Umhlanga is coming along nicely with the client set to move in in about 2 weeks time. I am very impressed with the turn around time on this, the client has moved things along really nicely and it is starting to take shape.

We have just chosen the wallpaper for the TV unit and we are looking forward to seeing the final product. The TV unit has a recessed fireplace and a floating concrete slab. We are just getting the final earthcote technique put onto the slab and we will seal and polish this.

The passage area seen in the photo above is going to have a server unit that houses all the audio and visual equipement so that this does not interfer with the TV unit design in the lounge. The wall colour is very tranquil and allows for art and mirrors to be added where we want to create focus areas.

We are excited to see the finished project, this is a wonderful apartment and so much has been done by the client to create a feeling of open space.

The client has maximised the natural light coming into the apartment by using skylights in the various rooms and have chosen sliding doors that do not hinder the views of the ocean. For more information on our completed projects visit www.jossi.co.za

Jossi Design has been awarded the tender for the renovations of the existing offices of Umgeni Water in Pietermaritzburg. We are very excited about this new project, we had some amazing ideas and designs we submitted in our tender and these have now been approved by Umgeni Water.

The above photo shows the existing entrance of the building. The reception area will be part of Phase 2 of the project. Phase 1 (where we will start work) will be a renovation of the first floor area.

There are many wonderful waiting areas within the building that need to be redesigned and decorated to incorporate a more contemporary feel and we can pick up on more company branding.

The building is so interesting with the long tunnels and there is so much that can be done to lift the spaces and make them more interesting.

The boardroom and various offices also require a redesign, it is an exciting new project and we are looking forward to seeing the overall effect. We will keep updating photos of the progress on site, for more information about completed projects by Jossi Interior Design please go to our website... www.jossi.co.za

Apartment in Umhlanga Rocks

The Apartment in Umhlanga Rocks is progressing steadily with completion set for the end of June. The photo below shows the entrance feature wall in grey and silver riven stone.

The Kitchen is going to have high gloss acrylic doors imported from Germany. The kitchen is set to be white with a white caesar stone top. The client insisted on a brick feature wall in the kitchen at the position of the hob and extractor. This resulted in Justine and Jocelyn from Jossi Design going to Atomic Building suppliers to find old bricks from a demolished house. We had to dig out each brick that we wanted to ensure the client go the desired look.

Tiling is coming along slowly. They have now finished the floor tiles and are moving onto bathroom walls. We are very happy with the tiles chosen as they are going to give the apartment a modern look.

Mishi Jones' guys are hard at work skimming walls. In the background you can see some of the paint colour samples on the wall.

House by the Beach in Durban

Jossi Interior Design is busy with all different types of projects at the moment which keeps us running around and out of trouble.

I am including photos of one of our latest projects, this three story house has amazing views of the ocean as it is a stone's throw from the beach. The slab has only just been cast for the top storey which will be the Main Bedroom which encompasses an open plan TV lounge, Bedroom, breakfast area and a bathroom enclosed by glass screens, not to mention a private dressing area.

The ground floor is the entrance and Home Theatre so that when 'the guys' come around to watch the rugby they do not have to be part of the main house. There is also the Guest Bedroom and en-suite on the ground floor.

From the main entrance you then progress up the curved staircase into the open plan dining room, with grand piano, kitchen and large lounge area. The TV room is also located on this floor and is more the family lounge. The 2 bedrooms for the kids are also located on this floor and both have dressing areas and en-suite bathrooms.

Another great project which we at Jossi Interior Design are happy to be involved in. Take a look at our website www.jossi.co.za

New Umhlanga Apartment

This apartment is going to be absolutely stunning! We are opening up all the spaces, knocking out all the existing internal walls and allowing for skylights to bring in natural light. The builders are working extremely fast and we are working fast to try to keep up.

This apartment in Umhlanga has amazing views of the sea. We are going to use Mediterranean shutters at all the windows, and we are going to carpet all the bedrooms. The rest of the apartment is tiled and we will be using rugs to add a bit of warmth and intimacy.

The bathrooms are being opened up so there is a feeling of space, whereas before they were very small and uncomfortable. New sanware and tiles have been purchased.

We are ready with the ceiling and lighting layouts, as well as the Main Lounge fireplace and TV unit design. Another fireplace is going to be located in the Main Bedroom. This apartment is definetly going to reflect the styles and taste of the owners but with a contemporary twist. For more information on our projects visit our website http://www.jossi.co.za
