It is located at 82 Jan Smuts Avenue in Saxonwold. HistoryThe house was designed by architect Gordon Leith in 1923,[1] as a house in Spanish style for the epidemiologist A. J. Orenstein.[2] It was purchased in 1957 by English architect David Morrison (1910-2000), who then spent many years changing the house to a pastiche of an Italian villa with its formal gardens, which reminded the architect of the Villa d'Este at Tivoli near Rome. It has a main pool at the front which is a swimming pool, statues and fountains, and a Jacuzzi and sauna. David Morrison lived in the house until 1993, when it was purchased by an interior designer who had the gardens renovated and replanted with junipers and cypresses.[3] From 2013-2016 it was used as business premises for a health spa.
