What was one of the biggest challenges you faced in furnishing your small home? The building is circular so no wall is at a straight angle. This gives us interesting spaces, but made it really tricky to furnish.

Looks really nice, but I'm having problems with visualizing the overall vibe of the space, particularly the living room, because of the photos. Love the Haring pillow.
in the bedroom how'd you guys hang the books? it looks really cool!
nice place
I love the pillow on the bed. ^_^ and the night stands. very neat.
Nicely done but too many iconic pieces in a small space for my taste. Looks like a lot of other places I've seen.
Have to agree with spanky. It's an impressive place, but comes across more as a designer showcase than as a home.
Anyone know what that bookcase in the living room is?
Very nice. Also love the books in the bedroom! Where in Joburg is this?
So mature... I think it fantastic to choose a style and stick with it. Your place is classic and consistent, im sure it wil keep its charm for the next 100 years! One of my faves!
p.s. What's that on your coffee table??
i'm pretty sure this place is cool, but the photos leave too much to the imagination
Really great floor and cool accent pieces/art in your house. You also have a wonderful balcony. Looks like a comfortable place to live.
Love the pillow on the bed!
I don't agree with the comments on the iconic items; the balance between personal items and iconic ones is very well achieved, this looks minimalist AND lived in.
Great job!
that first photo alone! noguchi table: check. le corbusier sofa: check. pair of barcelona chairs: check. eileen gray side table: check. bertoia side chair: check. am i jealous? check.
Great job!
Awesome!
I love everything, but mainly the photo with the hanging umbrella. Something about it just makes me want to be there!
Sleek & sophisticated!
I love the earth toned colours. Very suitable for Africa! Every piece is carefully handpicked! You manged to achieve an excellent balance between modern, functional sophistication and a warm wooden touch of yeasteryears! Especially the wooden framed painting of a dear - it gives you the warm welcoming feeling of grandfather's house! ;) Petronella.
I really love this space!! I don't know why voters did not vote higher on this one. The view is wonderful. Everything is so clean and pretty and functional!! I wish I could live there! Great job!! LOVE ALL THE COLORS! ALL the Furniture!! My favorite sofas! Chairs... beds.. everything! Just BEAUTIFUL! My dream space!! :)
