Pearls of Umhlanga apartment:

Jossi Interior Design undertook to design a large feature wall which doubled as a TV unit in this gorgeous Umhlanga apartment.

As well as being involved to some extent in the selection of the finishes within the general apartment, Jossi’s attention was focused on solving the problem of concealing the structural columns in the open plan space, while creating a contemporary wall unit that also served the purpose of housing a large plasma tv behind a sliding door.

This was achieved using a strong grained timber which was washed to give it a whiter look while not concealing the natural grain of the wood. The use of sandblasted glass creates a play on the positive and negative space, and lightened the otherwise large wall unit.

The concrete slab is suspended between the two structural columns, with the one column cladded within the timber unit.

The sliding door houses the Plasma TV and beneath the floating slab are drawers to house the various units and entertainment equipment.
