DLH Lifestyle have been shortlisted for the Interior Design Scheme – Middle East & Africas Award in The International Design and Architecture Awards 2022.

DLH Lifestyle was appointed in full capacity to design specify and oversee all interior installations at this magnificent hilltop house, situated in the surrounding mountains. It offers spectacular views of the city of Windhoek. Working with many of the clients’ individual pieces and artworks, the designers had to create a scheme that was able to unify all of their items and collections into their new home in Namibia.

The success of the design is its appropriate and seamless connection to the natural world and vast beauty of the surrounding mountains. DLH Lifestyle delivers a sensitive yet highly contemporary scheme, working in colours and raw materials from the environment. The design uses raw materials: granite, marble, wood, and metals, that mirror the earth’s rich layers in a space that both shows off the beauty of the natural world and complements the clients’ lifestyle of luxury and modern living. The marble flooring and granite worktops, the accents in the dining table and motif in the curtains all represent the textures and designs inspired by the layers of our earth.

Upon arrival you can move through a zen garden styled from local stone and succulent trees from this area into a tranquil space, making the integration from outside to inside slow and intentional. Once inside or at the entrance – vast frameless views penetrate through the double volume space, giving you a complete view out the other side over the horizon. The home allows you to experience the vastness of the natural surroundings through large, unobstructed, and frameless views outwards. DLH Lifestyle also worked with local artisans to give the home another tie to it’s location, such as the staircase that features a beautifully wrapped handrail in a bright and robust tan leather which was installed by a local Namibian leather artist.
