This Villa combines the best of Hamptons and French Provence | Top Billing

So, we’ve all heard a hundred times that in property - location is everything. Why? Because even if the existing house totally fails at making the most of its location, you can still buy the place, bring in some jackhammers - then build a home worthy of its setting. Like they did in this week’s featured home.
The original, breezy, Hamptons’ architecture is designed for an expansive feeling of sitting IN the scenery - and that’s just what Frikkie and Anna have achieved.
Architect Frikkie Rautenbach and interior designer Anna Smit agreed with their client on a blend of the open, light, Hamptons look of America’s East Coast and the French, country-house style which influenced it.
By removing the old staircase and eighty percent of the first floor slab the space now welcomes sun light into an entertainment and family area. Hamptons’ architecture is designed for an expansive feeling of sitting in the scenery - and that’s just what Frikkie and Anna have achieved.

This house is so beautifully and tastefully appointed, and in every way. Fabulous. Even by the Hamptons standards, near where I live. Light, open, and airy, yet cozy, warm, elegant, and very livable.

generally, design is beautiful, however, the quantity of furniture pieces and its location is somewhere not in place and feels overwhelming. There is too many copies of the functions in the same zone and a number of squeezing moments due to how and where the items stand. Also, paintings shall be softer and more like larger scale blossoms on the canvas, different proportions of canvases as well and better very smooth transitions in shades and clean texture, otherwise the perfect interior colors, shapes and forms are disturbed by imbalanced paintings...
