A long-standing client approached Luxury Frontiers to design the interior of an existing building shell. The aim was to establish a city retreat with a safari-inspired theme, providing a home-away-from-home experience. The idea was to construct a space that remains authentic to nature, embracing materials in their natural state. This concept was translated into an African minimalism lodge, utilizing three primary material finishes: cementitious, oak timber, and granite. The result was a warm and welcoming contemporary safari interior for guests.
