Ultra-modern and avant-garde, this unique steel and glass Simbithi home blends in with its natural surroundings while managing to be bold and striking at the same time.<\/h3>\n

Linda Warren always wanted to create a glass and steel home. Having built and renovated a number of houses over the years, it was the location and breathtaking views that, she says, finally led to the design of this exciting and unusual space. \u201cI\u2019ve always loved the idea of a dark house, but I\u2019d never done anything like this before.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"
There are very few walls and almost everything is made of glass, concrete and steel. All of the doors open up completely, giving a feeling of almost being outside with just a roof over your head.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With the help of architect Jarryd Murray, they created a modern home that almost completely opens up to the outdoors, seamlessly merging the interior and exterior. \u201cIt was a bit nerve-wracking as there aren\u2019t many \u2018black houses\u2019 around and even Jarryd would sometimes shake his head at me,\u201d she laughs. It\u2019s impossible not to stop and just take it all in when you first arrive at the top of the driveway.<\/p>\n

Perched on a hill overlooking Simbithi\u2019s indigenous bush, forest and dam views, the seemingly all-black and glass house is impressive and striking without being too over-the-top. It\u2019s simplistic design allows the home to speak for itself.<\/p>\n

\"\"
ABOVE: The dark colour on the outside of the house is mimicked indoors, with lots of black fittings, furniture and accessories. The main en-suite bathroom has a double shower and striking black bath and the pink peony picture adds a bright pop of colour and fun!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
An avid koi fish and cycad collector, Linda incorporated both of these elements into the design of the garden. The koi pond is situated at one end of the swimming pool. The garden was planted with attracting birdlife and keeping things as low maintenance as possible in mind.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Jarryd is the director and founder of award-winning architectural firm Map Architects.
\n\u201cLinda\u2019as brief was to conceptualize a contemporary open plan home that maximised on the site\u2019s panoramic views and orientation. We used steel and glass on the upper floor to reduce the construction period along with aiding in creating transparency between indoors and outdoors. The open plan living space has the option to open up and live onto three sides – the view, the covered patio and \/ or the open courtyard and pool,\u201d says Jarryd.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Passionate about supporting local, Linda used mostly small traders for all the finishes in the home. \u201cThere is so much local talent and I\u2019m very happy for anyone to contact me so I can pass on their details.\u201d<\/p>\n
