Architecture Design of UT 41 House

Description About The Project

UT 41 House designed by GSQUARED Architect, stands as a testament to modern architectural finesse and harmonious integration with its breathtaking surroundings. Commissioned by discerning clients with a penchant for contemporary living, the residence exudes an air of tranquility and sophistication while embracing the coastal landscape in all its splendor.

At the heart of the design lies a meticulous attention to detail, guided by the clients’ desire for a spacious and modern dwelling that seamlessly blends indoor comfort with the natural beauty of its setting. The brief was clear: maximize daylight penetration throughout the home, provide uninterrupted vistas of the water and mountains, and ensure absolute privacy in this seaside sanctuary.

To achieve these lofty goals, the design process commenced with a series of immersive site visits, allowing the team to intimately acquaint themselves with the site’s genius loci—the unique spirit and character of the land. Drawing inspiration from the interplay of nature, light, context, and the clients’ aspirations, the design concept gradually took shape, akin to layers of a finely woven tapestry.

Each element of the design was carefully considered and strategically positioned to optimize both visual and physical connections to the landscape. Expansive windows capture the ever-changing interplay of light and shadow, framing panoramic views that evoke a sense of awe and wonder. Meanwhile, thoughtful landscaping and architectural interventions ensure a sense of seclusion and privacy, shielding the occupants from prying eyes while fostering a profound sense of retreat.

The result is nothing short of spectacular—a home that transcends mere architectural form to become a true embodiment of coastal elegance. Here, amidst the gentle murmur of the waves and the rustle of the sea breeze, residents are invited to embark on a journey of serenity and self-discovery, where every corner tells a story of mindful design and unparalleled beauty.

Nature-inspired design: Incorporating elements from the surrounding landscape into the architectural concept.

Pool or spa: A recreational water feature for relaxation and recreation.

A generous open plan living space blends with the outdoor terrace and rim flow pool to create a spectacular and luxurious entertainment space. Each level features a series of different outdoor spaces creating a blurred boundary between outdoors and in throughout the property.

Text by the Architects: This expansive residential home in Camps Bay fulfils a brief for a large family house to be split over 4 levels, each serving a unique function as per the clients request. The rise in elevation, as well as a sophisicated approach to lighting result in immaculate views of Camps Bay beach, Lions head and Table Mountain and ample daylighting throughout the year. Large clerstory windows beautifully frame views in every direction while carefully maintaining privacy from overlooking neighbours.
