One of the most unique offerings of this home is its location – with sea views, mountain views and a functioning game farm surrounding you, it really is the ultimate combination in luxury South African living. The site itself formed the basis of all decisions, with the configuration of the home effectively executed to divide the property into three levels – one that functions as the main residence and two alternative levels for guests, hobbies and other amenities.

According to the architect, the broken-up, barn-like structures celebrate the simple historic forms, but the technical composition and structural resolution of steel trusses and a timber ceiling create a fresh and modern spatial experience. Enhancing the architectural design, a balance of materials was incorporated into the build, including natural warm wood finishes with brutalist concrete surfaces, which come together to create a natural yet sophisticated feel.
