B
osjes Estate is situated in the heart of the Breede Valley. The project includes a
unique chapel structure with symbolic biblical gardens, a wine tasting room and
bistro and the refurbishment of the Manor House and old sheds into a family
home and new luxury guest suites.
Site
The site is surrounded by majestic mountains on a grand scale which adorns the area with
the nickname of ‘Little Switzerland’. Typically, Cape Dutch Manor houses, such as those
found in Stellenbosch and Cape Town, set up a dialogue with these types of environments.
Within the immediate context of the site, the valley is ‘held’ on either side by two
mountain ranges which set up a spatial dialogue on a grand scale - which also occurs on a
‘micro’ level between the Manor House development node and the Chapel development
node; across the vineyards and gardens.
Estate Components
The Chapel (Bosjes Kapel) & Gardens
Simplistic in form, yet incredibly challenging from a construction point of view, the Bosjes
Chapel and gardens will become a distinctive feature on many wedding photos.
The Wine Tasting & Bistro (Bosjes Kombuis)
This simplistic, shed-like structure constructed out of glass and steel, with stone and
timber accents, presents a very low impact, scale sensitive and contemporary inter-
pretation of the surrounding rural architecture. A large outside deck constructed around
a beautiful oak tree creates a welcoming and enjoyable experience for the whole
