Arrival

A lit path,
then the door.

Fynbos on either side, a single line of light underfoot. The street disappears behind you.

The courtyard

Shade is
a material.

An open-air room at the heart of the plan, cut to catch the winter sun and lose the summer wind.

The stair

Light falls
three storeys.

Board-marked concrete and a skylight the length of the stair. You climb towards the sea.

Living level

The Atlantic,
wall to wall.

Eleven metres of sliding glass. Open it and the living room becomes the terrace.

Main suite

Wake to
the horizon.

The bed faces west. Blackout linen for the long summer evenings, nothing between you and the water.

The bath

Stone, water,
more water.

A carved bath set into the window. The sea is the only neighbour who can see in.

The edge

Where the pool
meets the bay.

A 14-metre infinity edge, heated year round, lined up with the sunset in December.

The idea

Seven homes, stepped down a granite slope so that no one looks into anyone else. Every residence has its own garden, its own pool and its own piece of the Atlantic. We designed it from the inside out: first the light in each room, then the walls to hold it.
