Welcome to the residences own cinema inspired by the movie “Moulin Rouge “. Welcome to dark fabrics and plush couches, maroccon and Indian influences, welcome to a sensual atmosphere, heavy erotic perfumes and the style of old Paris. The owners of ENIGMA MANSION have travelled the world and lived for many years in the world's most elegant and grandest hotels. From the Bei Air in Los Angeles, to the Costes and Plaza Athenee in Paris or the Dorchester and The Lanesborough in London, the Baur au Lac in Zuerich, the IMPERIAL and SACHER in Vienna, The Peninsula in Beverly Hills, The Oriental in Bangkok, The Prince Maurice in Mauritius, The Tennerhof in Kitzbuehel, The Eden Roc in Cap d Antibes… The experiences and memories of living in these grand hotels - sometimes for months or even years - gave the inspiration and ideas to the ENIGMA MANSION. The right mix between palatial surroundings and inviting and cosy atmosphere from the moment you enter the residence was the most difficult task being achieved. You feel home away from home is not just a phrase :It is reality for everybody who is entering the residence. The 80 sqm cinema is the crown jewel of the residence and exceeded even the high expectations of the residence owners at its completion. Watch a Madonna or U2 concert and you will feel like you are part of it. View in 3D AVATAR while laying on one of the roman lounges or drift away with the movie AMADEUS and the atmosphere and ambience around you will just put you in a different state of mind. “By living in the worlds grandest hotels and private residences we have never seen anything like this Something like this movie theatre most likely will not exist anywhere else in the world”. Use the CINEMA for a sensual party where the screen is used for the computer generated visualization of the music which has been chosen from the ENIGMA RESIDENCE music playlists. This is better than any drug. In this room you will be carried away from reality.Words and photos can't describe the ambience being in this cinema as it must be felt and not just seen on photos. The photos in this case don’t do justice to the seductive atmosphere of this room. The walls of the entire cinema are framed by arches from a Moroccan palace. Behind the arches the walls are covered with motives of movie stars and scenes of French cabarets done by artist Michael J Fitzgerald. Truly unique wall lamps with beautiful shades give the sensual dark lights you may only find in an exclusive cabaret in Paris.Antique, eclectic, modern but most of all cosy couches, lounges and roman daybeds in deep red and green colours are placed randomly on the thick red carpet. Every couch is the best place in the house to view a 3D movie. The 3D Projector is released from the ceiling on the push of a button on the IPAD and the Cinema Curtains in deep metallic blue(Gaggio,Italy)opens automatically while the curtain at the entry to the cinema closes automatically if the movie is starting to play. The highest end speakers, subwoofers and surround system is a given but what really makes the experience so different is the atmosphere in the room. BASEMENT - GYM AND DANCE ROOM 45 sqm have been allocated for the gym,dance and gymnastic rooms. In the dance/gymnastic room 2 walls are silver stucco and the other walls are fully mirrored.4 speakers powered by the residences huge amplifiers give the sound for any dance workout while watching either music videos on the 21:9 3D Cinema screen or choosing the computer generated visualization program via the IPAD. There is an access point -as in any other major room - for the guests IPAD to play via the residence sound system. A Blu Ray Player allows to play any DVD as well as having access to all DSTV satellite channels or the residence's own movie and music servers. The centre of the adjoining gym room with dark red stucco on the wall and blue ceiling light cubes is a silver KINETICS exercise machine (Techno gym) which combines in one machine most exercise routines while being a piece of art itself.

THE RESIDENCE - GROUND FLOOR The ground floor is the place for parties, invitations and family life: All high ceiling rooms are extremely spacious and double doors are leading to the terraces around: On 670 sqm of the most luxurious decorated floor you find a plush Library, the luxurious media room, the eclectic Living kitchen, Dining room, the opulent reception room and the palatial living room as well as various lobbies, a powder room a cloak room and guest WC. GROUND FLOOR - STAIR HALL The Entrance hall, all ground floor lobbies as well as the stair hall ( basement/ground floor and first floor ) is covered with beautiful untreated travantino tiles from turkey giving the feeling of entering an old roman palace. An artist from Spain has worked with a team of 8 people for 1 year on all walls in the common areas applying and old technique from Morocco which creates the appearing of old marble walls in the entire stair hall. The technique used is extremely time intensive and can be best compared with venetian stucco. While venetian stucco is a modern version of this ancient Moroccan technique it cannot compete with the beauty of this artistic approach. These walls in the stair hall and lobbies seem to exist for hundreds of years while these have just been completed in 2012. The entrance hall, lobby and stair hall have old chandeliers from Cuba and a magnificent dome crowns the stair hall. The dome is indirectly illuminated during the day but as soon as the evening comes the light switches to thousands of moving star lights which are recessed into the domes paintwork inspired by images of the Universe from world famous scientist, Stephen Hawkins. Artists have worked for 8 months on this ceiling and as soon as the LED stars are illuminated at night a feeling of magic fills the entire residence. All lights in the stair halls are controlled by normal switches as well as via the IPADs which are located in the Entrance Hall, South Ground lobby, basement lobby and First Floor West and East Lobby. The IPADS are built into the walls and can be operated in the wall but also can be released on a push of a button from their docking stations.  IPADS are programmed to make pre assigned light mood settings easily available. These settings can easily be chosen by selecting areas and moods and then with the push of a button all lamps in the chosen area (up to the entire house including all outside areas) go into this lighting mood. Some mood settings also include the automatic switching on/off of fireplaces in certain rooms, activation/deactivation of water features at the pool or illumination and activating of the fountains at the courtyard, as well as switching off/on of animations (from a famous French artists which had been build and recessed into the walls in the basement and the ground floors), automatic opening of the CINEMAs curtains or releasing TVs which are build into the ceiling of rooms. All stone floors in the entire residence on all levels have under floor heating and the temperature is controlled via the IPAD in the same way as the extremely silent AC can be controlled for each room and each area from each IPAD. A team of 9 dedicated staff members makes sure that everything works at all time and that it is a pleasure to operate the system. The most important basic feature of the operation of this system is an extensive and 100 % reliable network. ENIGMA MANSION has chosen a CISCO network designed for much bigger complexes and has spent substantial amount of time and money to design a system that guarantees the smooth operation of the residence and all internet connected activities throughout the property. Needless to say that WIFI with the highest possible speed in South Africa is available in all rooms but also all parts of the outside areas of the property.
