To end off the year we’d like to share a few moments from one of our favorite projects.

This is BLY, the new luxury bed & breakfast at BLOS café in Pretoria east.

Taking shape through a close partnership between architect and owner-builder, the renovation sought to harmonize disconnected suites, soften edges and create tranquil spaces.
Outdoor terracing unifies the pre-existing rooms and provides stepped thresholds surrounded by tree canopies and bright Bougainvilleas.

It was a pleasure to work on this project. Hopefully it inspires you the way it inspired us.

A recently completed project of ours where the biggest challenge was the 7 metre cantilevered veranda roof. This series of photos shows the process of constructing the new roof, starting with the two largest supporting members through to installing the hanging shutters. The large red ‘cross’ was designed to suspend the corner of the roof which hangs 7 (E-W) and 5 (N-S) meters away from the walls.
