A quick snapshot of modern residential architecture in Johannesburg. This beautiful home boasts wide open living spaces and showcases an array of finishes and materials. The interior feels like a “modern classic” Johannesburg home, with the use of exposed board as an inlay to the ceiling and we love how the open plan kitchen incorporates a stone wall and our Leather Buckles stools. These simple and refined stools give a modern edge to the kitchen island and are comfortable and lightweight.
JVR Architect and Interiors, headed by Joe van Rooyen is dynamic studio with a quintessential Johannesburg design style. We love the spaces that they create and the considered approach to material usage.
Quick overview:
Joe van Rooyen studied and qualified at the University of Pretoria and did his post Graduate studies at New York University for Art and architecture. He founded JVR Architects and Interiors in 2006 which specializes in high end residential design and focus on timeless elegant design with strong roots in South African architecture.
This modern interior blends a rustic space with casual and cool tones and finishes. We love the open barn aesthetic, mixed with modern furniture elements and tactility of the stonework and concrete floors. This is Johannesburg residential architecture at it’s finest and we’re humbled to be part of adding a modern edge to the interior space.
