Interior design firm ARRCC has shared photos of a project they recently completed in Cape Town, South Africa, that included the updating of the interior and the addition of a new garden pavilion.
The home, originally designed by Antonio Zaninovic, also received a conversion and extension of a bedroom on the upper level to create a penthouse main suite.
