RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS: WINNER
Clifton Terraces, Cape Town
Clifton Terraces is a residential development in one of
the most sought-after locations in Africa; surrounded by
the world-renowned Clifton Beaches, nestled between
Lion’s Head and Table Mountain. Each of the residences
boasts large, open plan entertaining and living areas with
a large terrace overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
A key consideration of the design was blending the
building into the natural surroundings using its overall
form, its deep overhangs and a restrained natural palette
of materials. The building terraces back significantly to
mimic the existing contours of the original site prior to
any development. This sensitive approach to placement
on site ensured that views from neighbours on all three
affected sides were kept to a minimum and in most
cases improved. The colours, tones and materials were
specifically chosen to blend in with the surroundings.
Carefully placed landscaped terraces on each level will
ensure that the building will further disappear into the
natural environment over time.
Clifton Terraces consists of eight simplex apartments,
two duplex apartments and two large villas; each with
private and secure garaging with direct access lifts up to
each apartment.
Clifton Terraces’ expansive views, modern technologies
and finest natural finishes.
