This new residence is rooted in the language of traditional Cape architecture, drawing on familiar farmstead forms and proportions as a starting point. Gabled volumes sheltered outdoor spaces and simple, robust elements give the house a sense of familiarity and permanence. These references are interpreted in a contemporary way, with restrained detailing and a refined material palette that keeps the architecture feeling current. The result is a home that feels grounded and timeless — recognisably Cape in character yet comfortably suited to modern living.
