had in mind. “We worked with as much of the original structure as possible but in order to create a modern open-plan living area it was necessary to remove some interior walls,” explains Sara. Along with the corrugated-iron roof, the owners respected the heritage of the house by extending and enlarging the stoep, installing sash windows and retaining the parquet floors. “The floors were an incredibly big job,” says Sara, explaining that they were lifted, restored and then relaid in a herringbone pattern. “It was a labour of love but worth all the effort.” It’s in the open-plan heart of the home that the bridge between old and new is evident. A modern white kitchen with oversized travertine tiles lies comfortably beside the dining area with its parquet floors and period-style French furniture. “The key was to maintain a balance between the different furnishings, finishes and accent colours,” says Joanne, “and to introduce a unifying feature.” In this case it was the areas of exposed brick, which tie the home together both internally and externally. “I’m quite bold and daring with colour and Joanne loved this as she got to play around, but there was one instance where my courage failed,” admits Sara. “She sent me a picture on her phone of the dining chairs covered in different striped fabrics and I really wasn’t sure. But when I came home and saw everything in place, I just loved the quirkiness.” The modern, low-key comfort extends to the large veranda overlooking the back garden.
