Reflecting the location on which it stands and the wishes of its owners, the La Lucia villa, found on the north coast of Kwazulu Natal, south of Umhlanga, in South Africa, combines elegance and comfort with simple spaces. Nestled in a forest, the property enjoys breathtaking sea views, two characteristics that have inspired the architecture, developed by the SAOTA studio, and the interior design, created by the practice ARRCC.
Two huge trees greet you when you arrive and, then, a platform of floating steps, shaded by a pergola lead to the entrance of the villa. The wood-lined ceilings and the gigantic windows, perfectly framed by the seascapes, immediately jump out at you. The lower floor has been designed to ‘merge’ with the outdoor terraces, the pool deck and the gardens. Sliding doors ensure flexibility, as they allow this floor to be a continuous space, or more private. The four bedrooms with sea views are found on the upper level and open out onto individual terraces. When closed, the bronze-coloured aluminium sliding screens that line the exterior of the house provide protection, while bringing a unique design to the building.

The lower deck was designed to ‘merge’ with the outdoor terraces, pool deck and gardens.
The interiors express simplicity and bring a cosy feel to the house. Polished concrete floors, bleached wood and natural leather are combined with a neutral colour palette and with accents in charcoal, green and blue. The interior and exterior décor has been conceived to create large leisure areas. The dining table and open-air terrace table can be placed side by side for large parties, and all the furniture, both indoors and outdoors, are in keeping with each other, so that both areas are read as a single space.
