Win a Home, South Africa’s favourite interior design reality TV show, has teamed up with the glamorous hosts of Afternoon Express. Win a Home is brought to you by Private Property in proud association with Nedbank. Every weekday between 4pm and 5pm, from Monday 16th May 2016, a part of Afternoon Express is dedicated to the reality and real estate drama and high-design, of Win a Home, Season 3.
Three design contestants have 10 weeks to turn three, white-box apartments, into luxurious homes on a prestigious lifestyle estate in the Cape Winelands. The design contestants are mentored by three of the country’s biggest design and decor magazines, who are guiding them on their design journey. The design contestants are connected with leading, and up-and-coming product developers, artisans, artists, and creatives, collaborating to achieve the impressive standards of the previous seasons.
The contestants have been selected and they are Minenhle Ntuli, Rudolph Jordaan and Juané Venter. Minenhle is 22 years old and hails from Durban. He has a Bachelors degree in Architectural studies from UKZN with two years experience at Stauch Vorster Architects. Bielle Bellingham, the editor of ELLE DECORATION magazine, will be Minenhle’s mentor.
Rudolph Jordaan is a freelance designer in Cape Town, working on various design projects while lecturing at Inscape Education Group. The 28 year old completed a Bachelor’s in Design in 2009 before enrolling for a BTech Interior Design degree in 2012 at CPUT. Rudolph will be mentored by Michelle Snaddon, editor of Real Estate magazine.
Juané Venter is a 25 year old freelance photographer and candidate architect at WAUW architects in Cape Town. She completed her Masters in Architecture in 2014 at the University of the Free State. Sumien Brink from VISI magazine will be mentoring Juané during her design journey.
Every two weeks the designers present a completed space, which will be judged by a panel of design and property experts. Paint Partner Plascon will be providing the contestants with expert advice on colour to create on trend living spaces with premium quality paint, and the contestants are collaborating with Caesarstone, sculpting their quartz surfaces in new and imaginative ways.
Speaking on behalf of one of the sponsors, Tim Akinnusi, Head of Sales and Client Management at Nedbank Home Loans says Win a Home continues to provide a unique opportunity for aspirant interior designers to bring new perspectives on home décor and design.
