This compact apartment in Camps Bay not only boasts all the amenities, it features ultra-stylish furnishings that complement the ocean views
When Cape Town interior designer Karen Marsden was asked to decorate both the main house and the studio apartment of this Camps Bay home, she realised that she would have to treat each dwelling differently.
Known for her love of colour and the sense of fun and surprise that she brings to her work, she knew nevertheless that this self-contained space would need a different approach.
The massive double-height windows that offer a wonderful outlook over the sea of the ocean were the key. “The answer was to design interiors that were both cool and calm and would in no way detract from the extraordinary views,” she explains.
