FEATURED PROJECTS
HILL
HOUSE
An extensive renovation against the slopes of Signal Hill for a young family. We added a third floor for bedrooms to take in the incredible views and reconfigured the entrance level for living and entertaining. The client's eclectic taste gave the interiors an urban edge to this classic style city farmhouse.
The L-shaped form of the house turns its back on the prevailing summer winds and creates a sheltered, sun-facing private courtyard to live onto. The accommodation is spread over three floors in order to maximise the garden space and views.
Sun screening and privacy is achieved through a series of sliding timber screens. The exterior materials palette is kept simple and raw, with the interiors following the same industrial feel, with monochrome terrazzo tiles, oak flooring and dark steel cabinetry.
BO KAAP HOUSE
This project involved the renovation of an original 19th century house in the historical Bo Kaap. The existing house had a strong symmetry which was retained in the central living area running from the street through to the stone courtyard at the rear of the property. Existing features such as original stone work and timber beams were uncovered and celebrated. The neutral palette forms the perfect backdrop for the owner’s collection of modern, old and eclectic artwork and furnishings.
