HABITAT, the latest in suave contemporary Hyde Park developments, was designed by Studio A‘s award-winning Tristan du Plessis.
Featuring an eclectic interplay of texture and high functionality, the development consists of 17 minimalist units that encapsulate opulent suburban living. Each unit boasts two floors and ranges between 200 and 250 m2. An open-plan layout is granted further volume by elevated ceilings and view-welcoming glass facades that allow indoor and outdoor spaces to function as one.
Fine white marbles with stone swirls of natural grey are juxtaposed by large tiles in a subdued monochromatic colour palette allowing homeowners to easily integrate their own style. A winter-warming fireplace is the heating heart of the home and the reclusive garden offers a natural embrace often rare to the suburban developments of Joburg.
Each space is uniquely optimised. The bedrooms offer an en-suite bathroom, the double-garage boasts a built-in storage space, and there is a designated spot for visiting friends or family. HABITAT also comes with a three-tiered security system complete with access control, CCTV surveillance and a 24-hour guard.
Studio A has also partnered with True Design, giving new homeowners exclusive pricing deals on Cassina, Moroso and Kartell designs.
