The glass-fronted, 1960s gem acts as a display case for her eponymous label, vibrant artworks, and modernist furniture.

A vintage Kartell table and seating fills the living area.

Fashion designer Lezanne Viviers and her husband, Walter Anderson, hadn’t intended to move from their cozy apartment in Hyde Park, Johannesburg, let alone buy a new house—until they stumbled upon a modernist gem on a kopje, or small hill, overlooking the city at the junction of the Melville, Parkview, and Westcliff neighborhoods.

Inside the couple's home, vividly painted rooms intertwine with floor-to-ceiling glass walls and luminous skylights.

"The house is still in its original state. Our job was to bring in some color," says Lezanne.
