Architecture, Plan and Light
A long, low composition anchors the house to the site. Full height sliding panels line the living spaces and a deep slab canopy forms the stoep, while discreet rooflights bring soft top light to the terrace and interiors. Inside, a timber slatted screen shapes the arrival sequence and frames views to the garden and pool. The kitchen reads as a single minimal volume so that light, landscape and art remain the focus.

Material Palette and Rooms
Finishes are restrained and tactile: plastered masonry, dark aluminium glazing, timber flooring and a stone toned terrace deck set flush with the interior levels. Private rooms continue the quiet language with generous glazing to the garden, layered curtains for light control and a spa like master bathroom with a freestanding bath, walk in shower and diffused daylight for privacy.
