There are also sweeping views over the rolling hills of Zululami Estate below. <em>\u201cOur brief from the client was to create a coastal family home that would maximise the potential of its location in terms of views and surrounding context. The home needed to cater for a growing family, with a comfortable separation between the guest and private spaces. They also wanted to prioritise the connection to the outdoors,\u201d<\/em> says Michael.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20165\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/05\/CAL_0052.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"799\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/05\/CAL_0052.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/05\/CAL_0052-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/05\/CAL_0052-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/05\/CAL_0052-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/05\/CAL_0052-696x463.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/05\/CAL_0052-1068x711.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/05\/CAL_0052-631x420.jpg 631w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>Designed with this growing family in mind, the 573m\u00b2 home is built on two levels.
