A Tropical Urban Retreat Where Architecture Breathes | SE House KantorGG Projects Unveiled

Hi, it's Grace and this is Essie House by Cantor Juju. This home is honestly an experience. Each room is so unique and I'm going to take you through all of it. So this is the first thing you'll see, this casual seating area next to this marble bar. This is amazing for the evenings when you want to have a drink with your friends. There's lots of drinks to choose from but my favourite thing in this room is this pool table. I've never seen a pool table with a glass finish before and I think it gives off this floating effect which complements the outside koi pond amazingly. The dripping water on the wall just has this really beautiful effect to the whole room. So here we have the gentlemen's room. This room was designed to be darker moody with these brown leather sofas and this beautiful red Rosso Levanto marble tables. This room was actually designed to be called the cigar room as the gentleman in this household loves to do this as a hobby. So here we have the wellness area. Inside here is the private sauna. It's amazing to just relax after a long workout. Here we have this stunning long pool. It's dark, intimate and quiet. On the ceiling is this stunning glass which gives off this endless feeling to the whole space. It's calm, almost meditated. There's also a curated landscape on this level. The moringa stump gives off this really poetic feeling to this space. So here we have the powder room. It has this beautiful red marble, the Rosso Levanto which is the same one in the cigar room. And this is the Barrasol gallery, my favourite room on the ground level. It's bright, peaceful and Japanese inspired. It's got moss and fog effects. It gives you a feel for what you're about to experience upstairs. This is the main entrance to the property. There's this beautiful water feature which gives privacy to the family inside. The way the water trickles down the glass gives this calming energy. But let's go inside and look at the beautiful interiors of this home. So this is the kitchen, the heart of the house where everybody socialises. We have this beautiful oak veneer finished pantry and this beautiful purple exotic stone marble. I think this is more of a statement piece and it brings so much to the kitchen. There is this 12-seater long dining table for everyone to gather together. Here is where everyone gathers in the evening, this beautiful lounge, intimate, cosy area. And out here is the courtyard, the heart of the home which brings in so much light to this area. Here we have the formal living room, a much more structured look compared to the previous room. The walls have this unusual concrete textured finish which adds a very natural look. The floors have this clean, sleek ambience to the room. And here we have this beautiful spiral staircase which acts as the centrepiece to this grand living room. Here we have the courtyard, it has a 360 view of this space, tying all the rooms on the first floor together. So here is the terrace with the outdoor dining area. In the evenings you get this beautiful atmosphere and in the mornings a lovely ray of sunshine comes through these oak beams. This is a space to enjoy with your friends and family but let me take you to the hidden gem. I'm now coming through this beautiful silver travertine marble. This is used throughout the whole house and it's such a statement piece. In here is this powder room with this stunning green marble used on the top. And over here is the same marble that was used in the kitchen, this beautiful red stone and it's complemented well with these pine leaves. So here we have the outdoor lounge area. This is a much more private area for you to enjoy with your friends and family and get away from everyone else in the home. Over here is the synthetic rattan door which you'll see leads you back to the main part of the house which I showed you earlier. So finally we have the rooftop tea room. It's bright, light and airy and it complements this dark veneer table so beautifully. In the cabinet over here we have these Chinese ornaments and a full tea set. And in this zen garden it gives off this very peaceful atmosphere to this whole room. So that's Etty House, a home that's not just beautiful but an experience in every single room. Thank you for coming on this tour with me. See you next time.
