The interior refurbishment at De Mond showcases JNA Projects' mastery in heritage property restoration. This beautifully restored living space features exposed stone walls and traditional timber ceiling beams, demonstrating how skilled craftsmen preserve architectural authenticity while enhancing functionality. The careful selection of finishes and attention to historical detail reflect the comprehensive interior renovation approach that has defined JNA Projects since 1996. Natural materials complement the original structure, creating spaces that honour the property's early 19th-century heritage while meeting contemporary living standards.
The restored ceiling reveals the exceptional quality of traditional timber construction techniques employed in this heritage refurbishment project. JNA's craftsmen carefully preserved and enhanced the original wooden beam structure, showcasing the company's expertise in working with historical building materials. This ceiling restoration demonstrates the technical precision required when refurbishing heritage properties, where every timber element must be assessed, restored, or replaced while maintaining structural integrity and authentic appearance.

JNA Thatchers completed the extensive thatch roof restoration on this historic Hermanus property, combining generational expertise with modern techniques. The renewed thatched roof provides superior insulation and weather protection while preserving the building's distinctive Cape Dutch architectural character. This comprehensive thatching project demonstrates JNA's position as South Africa's leader in heritage thatch restoration, where skilled thatchers apply traditional methods to ensure longevity and authenticity in every restoration project.
