Lagoon View

2011

Lagoon View is at once bold and understated. This holiday home off the R43 en route to Hermanus incorporates dramatic lagoon, sea and mountain views. The challenge was to create a space that would embrace everything offered visually while providing protection from the extreme wind and weather conditions. A thoughtful response was required to both the spirit of the place and the design code constraints of the site – one of the most visually sensitive parts of the estate. We achieved this through a deceptively simple design with absolute attention to detail and the use of different materials such as timber, concrete and steel. The result is a contemporary, understated African home that is both robust and inviting.
