The couple has a few neat tricks for maintaining the streamlined environment. The lounges were made with broad, flat armrests and backs that serve as extra seating. “We wanted that so when we have parties or a lot of people over, we don’t have to bring in more chairs,” Patricia confides.
The semitranslucent blinds are also motorised and disappear completely into the ceiling. “I didn’t want curtains because they take up so much space when you pull them back,” she relates.
As well, the master bedroom has its own ensuite – complete with dressing table built-in – behind a false wall. They also made an effort to source fittings and furniture locally, and they added several indigenous artworks to adorn the walls.
An artist herself, Patricia finds the atmosphere of the house inspiring. “It’s lovely to sit and be creative in such nice, relaxed surroundings,” she declares.
