New Project Instruction: South Africa’s Garden Route

Murray Fishpool are delighted to announce its appointment to design the interiors of an exceptional new country retreat in South Africa's Garden Route.

Set within one of the country's most beautiful and sought-after landscapes, the project will transform the property into a luxurious yet understated escape that celebrates its surroundings while remaining deeply connected to the character and heritage of the site.

The design will balance comfort with refined simplicity, creating warm, inviting interiors that embrace natural materials, layered textures and timeless detailing. Inspired by the relaxed pace of country living, the scheme will offer a contemporary interpretation of the region's vernacular architecture, ensuring the retreat feels authentic, enduring and perfectly at home within its setting.

"Our vision is to create a home that feels as though it has always belonged here," said Paul Fishpool, Founder and Creative Director. "Rather than imposing a design onto the landscape, we want the interiors to complement the natural beauty of the site, creating spaces that are effortlessly comfortable, quietly luxurious and deeply connected to their surroundings."

The retreat has been conceived as a destination for rest, reconnection and slow living, with every space designed to maximise the sense of calm and tranquillity while fostering a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
