single space Beach House

This vacation beach house located near Cape Town South Africa, has been carefully crafted to respond to the client brief, to create an extraordinary living experience, conceptually capture the client’s brief to create a single space vacation house and fully embrace the remarkable seaside location.

Capitalizing on its unique context with panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, the house is conceived as a minimal steel-framed glass box with a hull shaped hardwood clad roof to facilitate distant views to the surrounding mountains. All the external walls are frameless sliding folding glass doors and are filtered by slatted hardwood shutters which open hydraulically to become verandas when open and a continuous secure screen when closed. All interior walls dividing living and sleeping spaces are sliding ash clad doors which slide away during daytime hours to create a single large living space.
