From the street, only a tantalizing glimpse of the sculptural form of the roof is visible beyond the entrance. This concrete shell's curvaceous, billowing shape takes inspiration from the waves of the ocean and the mountains behind the house, but it also has a practical rationale. Internally, the ceiling "pushes up" above clerestory windows to frame views of Table Mountain and Lion's Head above and behind the house.

To the front, it rises to scoop in expanses of sky. These focal points enhance the home's connection to its beautiful natural setting and draw natural light deep into its interior. Similarly, the roof of the master bedroom in the adjacent wing has been peeled back and lifted upwards to capture the views.



The main kitchen overlooks the back of house pool while the custom-made bespoke bar area is charachterised by Cape Granite, timber, brass, and copper elements.

A winding "orange peel" staircase mediates the connection between the living and bedroom wings while creating a sculptural architectural element at the entrance. A restrained and consistent palette of natural materials has been applied throughout the interiors, creating a tactile but neutral backdrop to enhance the colour pop of the views of the landscape. Light oak panelling on ceilings, walls, and floors provides softness and warmth, while exposed concrete elements provide a gritty contrast, and Cape Granite resonates with the mountainside setting.
