Boasting a sought-after vantage point overlooking the Indian Ocean, large expanses of glazing allow for spectacular sea views. They also ensure that the home fills with natural light. Yet even with the sizeable glazed door and window openings, the home offers considerable privacy because of the ample indigenous landscaping between neighbours.

The home has been reconstructed and redesigned with a distinctly tropical modern look. There are large overhangs on the roof eaves, plenty of screening and natural exterior finishes with timber and stone cladding. A double-volume steel and timber louvre screen framed by a monolithic travertine marble-clad element encases a shallow water feature.
