Living Etc UK – September 2019

(lily) #1

LIVING ROOM
A picture window provides
uninterrupted views. There’s
also a central rooflight, which
makes the space feel open to
the elements from all sides.
Similar ottomans, Heal’s. Pols
Potten’s Singapore chairs in black
rattan at Made in Design are
similar. The Yoruba coffee tables
at Dassie Artisan are similar


EXTERIOR
Despite its modern faҫade,
the new house sits well in the
landscape as it was based on
the local finca architecture. And
while classic Ibizan homes tend
to have small windows, the
architect’s remit was to have big
openings to blur the boundaries
between inside and out.
Architect, Blakstad

KITCHEN
With pale timber beams on the
ceiling, the kitchen feels well
established. Doors lead out into
a sheltered courtyard. Sumari
chose characteristically ‘wonky’
South African ceramics and
containers to add texture and
character to the neutral space.
Similar ceramics, Dassie Artisan.
Bespoke units, Blakstad

NOOK
Owners Emile and Eva relaxing
in a seating area just outside the
kitchen. Everything Sumari has
done to the interior they love –
including its simplicity and use
of natural materials. ‘The setting
provided an amazing palette to
work from,’ says Sumari.
Similar lanterns, Nordic House.
