The sweet life
When you have a vision of a home and what inspires its lines, its spaces, its form and its narrative with the landscape, it takes a special skill to parlay it from a mind’s carbon copy to construct. An architectural feat of marrying fantasy with function, play with practicality. As it has been with all of their other timeless builds – the owners of Meadow House have seamlessly stitched together yet another tapestry of their life experiences. A dynamic couple’s manifesto on all that inspires them, goes into the bones of each build. After travelling to Japan in celebration of an anniversary, they returned with a vision for a home where would lead the way for light, open spaces. Where timber ceilings, floors, wall features, passageways and partitions would refine its other textures of stone and glass. Where the abounding nature and indigenous gardens would furtively sneak their way back inside, as if to reclaim the spaces they never left. With the expertise of architects Matthew and Saskia of Beatty Vermeiren, they brought Kyoto to Cape Town. Even the cherry blossoms.
