I love this l-shaped mansion in South Africa whose interior was designed by ARRCC.
L-shaped houses are great because they create a nice private backyard โ a perfect โnookโ for a swimming pool and patio.
Itโs a sprawling 3 story mansion with a view of the ocean. The property is sizeable as you can see and includes extensive patios (covered and uncovered) with a large swimming pool.
This project was an extensive renovation of an existing home. The third storey was added. The interior was totally renovated so that itโs now updated, comfortable, modern and spectacular.
One room I really like is what I call a โbook clubโ meeting room. We feature it below. Itโs the room with 6 funky modern chairs in a circle around a small coffee table. When I saw that room I thought โwhat a terrific place to host bookย club meetings.โ Thereโs no TV or other distractions in the place. Itโs a nice, quiet, comfortable room for casual conversational gatherings.
Of course, thereโs much, much more to this mansion than simply offering a comfortable conversational gathering room.
There are multiple โliving spacesโ including a formal living room with an incredible view in a large great room space as well as a family room. The home also features a sauna, home gym, large, modern home office, beautiful bedrooms โฆ with incredible views from almost every room.

Gym looks out over city and ocean. Sauna is off to the side of this gym.I love this sauna because it has glass walls so you can enjoy the room from the third floor of this manion overlooking South African city and ocean. The sauna is big enough for 3 people.Like pretty much every other room, the home office looks out over the ocean. This home office has two workstations and a reading chair. Itโs definitely minimalist in design.Look at that balcony and view from this contemporary primary bedroom thatโs spacious yet not cluttered.Hereโs the large gallery style hallway in this mansion that leads to other parts of the home. The wall art is definitely interesting with itโs texture, grey, black, white and gold.
