Amenities and special features of this house
This contemporary "Award Winning" home is a masterful synergy of easy indoor-outdoor living, modernist minimalism and magnificent Cape surroundings. The design and execution of this exceptional property maximises its position. Suffused by natural light, the home sits on 1800m2 and is nestled organically amongst mature vegetation and a landscaped garden. The gentle flow creates an impression of living amongst and in harmony with the surrounding trees. Wood panelling, cleverly positioned stairs and artfully placed windows invite in the dappled light, rendering this beautiful home completely at one with its landscape. Minimalism and clean lines are complemented by a harmonious merging of concrete, glass, wood and natural stone elements, with high ceilings and double glazed glass throughout. Scorched wood panelling, using a unique Japanese wood burning technique, masterfully hides the garage doors, and creates the illusion of a dark wooden podium, with a light concrete structure buoyant above. A plethora of natural materials, in grand yet modest rooms, ensures complete symbiosis with the surroundings. The home showcases exposed concrete, oak and natural granite enhanced by the use of a gentle monochrome colour palette and is bathed in natural light from floor-to-ceiling glass and multiple skylights. An interior courtyard brings light to the front of the house, abutted on its Southern side by a traditional stoep or verandah. This offers distant mountain views in one direction and in the other, a view of the discreet swimming pool. The finishes and details of this genuinely unique and special home are refined and unobtrusive, subtle and rational. Quiet luxury, deferring always to the magnificence of its natural setting.
