Although they built this house as a project, Alex and Angela Saffy fell in love with it and decided it was perfect for their family
Industrial elegance was the look I was going for,” explains Jo’burg designer and project manager Angela Saffy of Versatile Interiors, indicating the large black-framed, double-height window in her entrance hall. The house, which is part of a complex in a secluded close in Bryanston, Jo’burg, was subject to certain design regulations, but fortunately as this window faces into the courtyard, the black frame was allowed.
Angela and her husband, Alex, bought the stand and built the house as an investment with Angela as project manager and designer. They had no intention of living there, but as it took shape, Alex could see what a great house it would be to live in. They changed their minds, put their house on the market and moved in with their children as soon as the building was complete.
