Prioritizing privacy, spatial volume, and seamless indoor-outdoor living, the home reinterprets Cape Dutch architecture with a modern approach.

Positioned on Val de Vie Estate, the residence blends sustainable local materials with sculpted landscaping and angular walls to enhance visual interest but to create a layer of privacy, removing one from the estate upon entering. The result is a tranquil yet dynamic golfing retreat that fosters connection with nature and an organic flow between spaces.
