This interior design project by Signature Studio came together beautifully. Working within the existing space; the re-imagined kitchen relies on smart planning, new screening devices and a classic but modern design-style that compliments this heritage home. Swipe for more and for the before >>>

Progressing well on site, can just make out the brickwork for the double volume entrance/light-well starting to go up past the roof height. This will be quite a transformation, inside and out.

#signaturestudioarchitects #renovation

This multi-generational living project of ours called for three luxury homes on an irregular shaped site for parents and their two adult children and their families. The concept developed around a streetscape with a contemporary row-house configuration that provided both connection and privacy.

The transformation here is unbelievable. Swipe for the before. The K3 Coach House exterior is nearing completion.

#signaturestudioarchitects #transformation #beforeandafter #rusticmodern

A narrow site poses the challenge of defining a private zone for bedrooms while still allowing a natural flow for entertaining and connection to the garden.

Knocking down walls can be so daunting, but it really is the best place to start when you want to make the best use of your space and alleviate any planning bottlenecks. When you do take that step the reward is great, as we are about to see in the G1 House renovation in Glendower.

#signaturestudioarchitects @signaturepiece.africa

The K2 House Renovation & Coach House aims to bring back some heritage to a home that had lost its character through years of haphazard alterations. The sloping site called for a terraced design.

Modernist House Restoration. This 1928 home required a light touch in its restoration. A forward-thinking home for 1928, still very much contemporary. Interiors for use as an airbnb also by Signature Studio.

D2 House Additions and Alterations. There is often a missed opportunity to add volume to a space when renovating. High volumes allow for extra ways to bring in natural light as well as adding interest to the experience of a home. We are excited for the construction on this project to start soon.

This unassuming studio space, designed for use as a hair salon, is a teaser for a larger renovation to come to the main house. Simple forms, steel beams and a striking silhouette foreshadow what is to come.

K1 Pool House. This project took inspiration from the existing 1950s house on the site. This new structure was designed to complement the existing home while still being contemporary.

B2 House Additions and Alterations. This concept uses classical proportions in a modern interpretation. The lines are clean and material pallet is simple resulting in an elegant timeless home.
