SAOTA and OKHA Interiors have designed a three-level penthouse in Johannesburg, South Africa. The designer saw this project as a gateway to set a new standard in modern urban luxury living. “We created a continual flow from zone to zone, utilising materials that emphasised the sense of space, transparency and reflection. We introduced organic textural / tactile elements through the use of timber and flamed granite to soften and add a counterpoint to the contemporary drama.’ The designers needed to maintain a fluid connectivity throughout but also give each zone its own specific look. Accordingly, they employed stylistically different furniture and décor elements from space to space and also used color accents unique to each sector. The décor is contemporary, simple and elegant. We were not trend-driven but rather used modern designs that referenced classical elegance. It’s not only about physical aesthetics, but more about energy and mood.”
