Sagee

Art for a prestigious private estate

Location South Africa
Client Private Commission
Sector High End Residential

Luxury residential art programme featuring custom installations throughout this prestigious private estate. From the master suite to the garden rooms, every space was considered as an opportunity to introduce art that elevates the architecture and enriches daily life.

The Brief

Sagee is a substantial private estate that demanded an art programme of equal ambition. The owners wanted installations that would feel generous and assured -- work that acknowledged the scale of the architecture without overwhelming the domestic warmth of the home.

The brief centred on creating a visual journey through the property, with each room offering its own distinct character while contributing to a unified aesthetic across the estate.

Our Approach

We worked closely with the owners and their interior design team to develop an art programme that respects the architectural language of the estate. Each installation was conceived in response to its specific setting -- the proportions of the room, the quality of light, and how the space is used.

The palette draws on the natural surroundings of the property, grounding the artwork in its South African context while maintaining an international sensibility.

The Craft

The Sagee programme encompasses a wide range of mediums and techniques, selected to suit the character of each space:

  • Large-scale original paintings commissioned for principal living areas
  • Custom ceiling installations adding dimension to key rooms
  • Curated photographic and fine art prints throughout private quarters
  • Sculptural works in bronze, stone and mixed media
  • Bespoke textile and decorative art pieces for bedrooms and dressing areas

The scale of the estate allowed us to work with a broad artistic vocabulary, creating variety within a coherent programme.

The Impact

The art programme at Sagee has transformed the estate from an impressive architectural achievement into a home with genuine soul. The installations give each space its own identity while drawing the whole property together with a quiet, confident thread. It is a residence where the art does not compete with the architecture -- it completes it.
