As you’ve probably noticed via our headline, today’s homify 360° discovery is quite unique, for we will not be looking at one, or two or even three, but eight homes! 

Located in upscale Morningside, Johannesburg, is the residential estate Salida del Sol Morningside, where these eight prime beauties are located. Pretoria-based Flaneur Architects were in charge of styling these gems up – so let’s see how they fared, shall we?

A royal vision

Quite the regal (yet ultra modern) façade, don’t you agree? Colours ranging from beige brown to stone grey adorn the exterior surfaces, while delightful stone- and brick patterns ensure some enhanced visual detail.

High interior style

Is this house number one or two? Or eight? Doesn’t matter, they are all gorgeous! 

‘Sleek and slim’ is how we would describe these interiors, which make use of a much lighter colour palette than the exterior façades. 

Some friendly pattern and colour is entered into the mix via the décor and furniture.

Elegant lighting

Top marks for the architects and designers, for they are committed to enhancing both the natural- and artificial lighting levels of the house! 

When was the last time you saw such graceful and ultra modern lighting fixtures dangling from a two-storey ceiling?

Bathroom no. 1

There aren’t many options on how we can grab attention in a bathroom. However, a fabulous focal wall is always a successful choice, as this modern bathroom demonstrates. 

Notice the strong linear style coming through in the oversized floor tiles, sinks, glass panes for the shower, etc.

Bathroom no. 2

We are simply torn in choosing our favourite between these two bathrooms. See how this one opts for a much lighter look via its tones, although don’t overlook the subtle pattern adorning the wall on the tub’s side.

And check out how this bathroom also enjoys a softer, curvier design via the sinks and tub. 

Which one do you prefer?

The fabulous back yard

If only every home’s back yard could look like this! Every single element here comes together to form a picture-perfect layout, from the pool/water feature and bi-fold doors to the steel railings and freshly cut grass.

A little piece of paradise in the big city!
