The couple has made the space their own by customising pieces to suit their taste. For example, the navy armchairs from Antiques on Kloof were reupholstered in velvet by Wunders, and the coffee table from Boardmans had its original top replaced with Marron Emperador marble from Natural Stone Warehouse.
No ordinary ‘above the shop’ space, Malcolm and Christiaan’s is a fully fledged residence – a vibrant continuation of the downstairs KLûK CGDT showroom and work studio, which originally occupied this floor. Spanning 120m2, it’s an apartment that includesa bedroom, living area, shower and kitchen alcove. ‘It’s a place for us to live in temporarily while our Fresnaye home on the Atlantic Seaboard is being renovated,’ says Malcolm. ‘The fact that we already had the space in Bree Street made it an obvious choice – and ithas turned out to be surprisingly comfortable and easy to live in.’
