An elegant, gently sloping driveway leads from the estate road towards the home into a stylishly arranged driveway court adorned with polished aggregate concrete panels and strips of artificial turf, setting the stage for an aesthetically pleasing arrival experience. The public entrance façade is intentionally low-slung and minimalist, featuring a triple garage clad in horizontal slatted timber. This façade guides the eye towards a covered entrance walkway roof hovering over a porcelain tile-clad feature blade wall and the primary entry point to the home. A large pivot entrance door, clad in dark porcelain tile slabs, provides a secure transition into the private realm of the home.
The intentional solidity of the entrance façade serves multiple purposes. It not only provides an element of surprise to the act of entering but also enhances privacy for the inhabitants and provides effective protection against the elements, particularly the prevailing strong winds from the southwest. This ensures that the open and sheltered private spaces designed for living, entertainment, relaxation, and enjoying the sea views remain comfortable and enjoyable.

Moving through the entrance, the architecture unfolds into a voluminous space at the upper level. An open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area seamlessly integrates with the outdoor spaces through sliding glass doors. The covered verandah, supported by a striking steel‘ spider’ column, extends the living space outdoors, offering shelter for an entertainment area, braai space, a pool, and a small garden. The expansive oak timber-clad ceiling above adds warmth and visual continuity to the internal spaces.
The master suite at this level is orientated towards the sea view and is a haven for private rest and relaxation
