EHR

Dusk view across the garden from the lawn: lit stone steps climb to a narrow pool glowing turquoise beside a dark timber fence, an umbrella and two loungers wait on the terrace beyond, and the villa’s full-height glazing opens to the living room at the right, a woman walking towards it on stepping stones.

EHR is a 2017 interior design and visualization set for a proposed private residence in Accra, Ghana. This page carries the four frames that were left out of the published gallery: one dusk view of the villa’s garden and three daylight angles of its open-plan dining and bar.

The task was marketing material for a house that existed only as a proposal, so the gallery had to carry the whole sales argument. RDVS. DESIGN worked from architecture through to furniture, staging the villa as a sequence of arrival, gathering and retreat rather than a set of unrelated rooms.

A double-height hall organizes the plan: the floating stair is visible from the forecourt, the carport and the living room, and it ties the open reception spaces on the lower level to the private suite above. Glazing runs the full length of the pool side, so the water becomes the garden.

Dark timber, grey stone and black leather give the house a heavy base, which the white sofas and pale rugs offset. Light does the rest: concealed cove washing, a backlit stone panel behind the dining table, LED risers on the stair, and a single purple accent carried through the bedroom.

The seventeen renders went out as one gallery in 2017, ordered from dusk exterior to detail: two site views, a run of living, dining, bar and kitchen scenes, a stair study, a reading nook, then five angles of the master suite that close on desk and vanity details. This page carries four frames that were left out of that publication — a third dusk view from the lawn across the pool terrace, and three daylight angles of the open-plan dining and bar. The seventeen published plates are no longer carried on this site.

The project was published as THE EHR — INTERIOR DESIGN + 3D VISUALIZATION — RDVS. DESIGN; the published set is on Behance.

Dusk view across the garden from the lawn: lit stone steps climb to a narrow pool glowing turquoise beside a dark timber fence, an umbrella and two loungers wait on the terrace beyond, and the villa’s full-height glazing opens to the living room at the right, a woman walking towards it on stepping stones.
Daylight view down the length of the open-plan room: a timber dining table with tan leather chairs and two pendant lamps at the left, a long pale bar with four stools and cylinder pendants at the right, sheer curtains along the full height of the pool glazing, and a slatted timber ceiling running to a tall open bookcase at the far end.
Dining table seen from the living end: a man seated at a timber table in tan leather armchairs beneath a single glass pendant, a red hound resting on the polished floor at his side, the white kitchen and its lit counter behind him and a full-height screen of vertical timber slats to the right.
The dining table from the living side: four leather chairs under a row of three fabric-shade pendants, the floating stair and a planted trough visible through a dark volume wrapped in vertical timber slats with the sun striping through them, louvred glazing to the garden beyond, and a large bark-cloth canvas hung above a low sideboard on the right.
