Pence House

Name: Umoya Living
Address: Cape Town, Western Cape, ZA

The brief

A small space the owners wanted to feel warm, welcoming and inviting — a soft, neutral palette that could hold the antiques and collectibles they had gathered over the years.

What we wanted to create

We curated a space that is warm, inviting and personal — natural textures, botanical art and collected pieces layered against a calm, neutral backdrop.
