It’s All About The View With Sunflex At Emanzini

Nestled on the water’s edge in Llandudno, “Emanzini” is a very fitting name. The Sunflex SF25 frameless stacking system was always the winning door option to maximise this property’s stunning ocean views…

Emanzini means ‘On the Water’ when translated from Xhosa. And as we can see, the house lies close to the shoreline and is intrinsically connected to the seaside. The name, therefore, becomes her with beautiful views of the ocean.

Connection to nature

With something so special just beyond the walls of the home, it was apparent that the interior needed to extend and connect with the great outdoors. As such, an all-weather verandah subsequently opens up fully. It thus creates a gorgeous, integrated area between the kitchen, dining room and verandah. With those incredible views, it creates an effortless yet quite sensational entertainment space.

It’s all about indoor-outdoor living. Simply open up the stacking system and feel as if the interior naturally extends to the seaside. It’s a seamless transition from one space to the next, creating an open-plan area that is perfect to enjoy the beautiful weather and oceanfront living.

The Sunflex SF25 slide, turn and stack system was chosen to open up from the living area as this is a frameless glass system that offers clear, unobstructed panoramic views through the doors.

Celebrating South Africa – inside and out

The owners are keen art collectors. There is a collection of Mike Sibley’s famous pencil drawings and a Katarzyna Novak, a Polish sculptor, piece with an ancient Etruscan feel that feeds into the contemporary.

“My husband and I wanted it most of all to be a place of relaxation.” This is emphasized by organic furniture inspired by South African design partnership Meyer von Wielligh, who channels the natural world. Signature pieces are dining room chairs, movable bar with stools and sideboard.

Gorgeous inside and out, the home is a blissful retreat and feels secluded, even though it is a mere 20 minutes from the city centre. Visitors can lounge around the pool and take in the full ocean vista. Furthermore, on colder days, one can easily close the stacking doors and still enjoy a beautiful landscape from indoors, thanks to the frameless finish.
