West Coast Retreat:
A sanctuary on the shores of Yzerfontein
Nestled on the rugged and dramatic beachfront of Yzerfontein in the Cape, the West Coast Retreat is an architectural transformation that marries the untamed beauty of its surroundings with refined design. This renovation and alteration project is an ode to the natural world, creating a haven that optimises ocean views, embraces natural light, and withstands the challenges posed by its unique coastal location.
Concept and vision
The vision for the West Coast Retreat was to create a space where the architecture would not only reflect the raw beauty of the coastline but also provide a warm and elegant sanctuary from the elements. The goal was to design a home that felt effortlessly integrated into its environment – both aesthetically and functionally – while offering its occupants a sense of comfort and tranquillity.
Inspired by the organic flow of nature, the design concept focused on subtle curves and a warm, tactile material palette. These elements come together to create a cohesive narrative: one of resilience and harmony, a space where the interplay between light, shadow, and texture is celebrated.
