  • In Sea Point, Cape Town, John Jacob transforms a 1950s apartment into a quietly composed midcentury contemporary masterpiece. The apartment building was constructed in the 1950’s and would not be considered beautiful according to modern day tastes. John Jacob is a firm believer in working with the architectural style and period of a building when considering the appropriate interior design and finishing of a space. The interior is midcentury in flavour. This is by no coincidence the interior is in harmony with the building in which it finds itself. While the building is 1950s the interiors are subtly midcentury but reinterpreted to today’s tastes to be modern and new. It’s essentially a “new take “on a 1950’s interior. The way we live today is not how we lived in the 1950’s especially when it comes to architectural layouts. Passages and small pokey spaces have been modernised and opened up to suit modern day living. John Jacob oversees the architecture and interior design on his projects. This is to ensure a perfect synergy between the building and the interior architectural details. The original space had a very conventional approach to the entrance. John wanted to maximise the sense of space to the arrival but at the same time still creating a demarcated area for privacy internally. By walking into a much larger area that doubled up as the new kitchen a sense of space is created with the larger ceiling area. Instead of a wall a joinery screen cladded in timber was installed as a focal point for art as you arrive.
