The individual open-plan rooms flow seamlessly, forming one extended living zone and central space. Also, the welcoming kitchen and lounge area is at the centre, with a sofa in the kitchen large enough to seat the entire family. Besides, the living rooms have a direct relationship and the flow between these spaces add a unique dynamic to the house. So, a sense of mystery is created through the various spaces glimpsing each other.

The character and interior architecture of the kitchen area demonstrate a fresh approach to living. With the addition of some custom made pieces from ARRCC interiors – including the sofas and dining table in neutral tones – the house offers the enjoyment of weekends away. There is a sophisticated eclectic mix of easy-living and comfortable furniture. Besides, shades of white and grey fabrics are accented with original Moroccan Berber rugs and colorful kelims, complimented with solid French oak coffee tables and lacquered round timber stools. Thus, the use of soft leathers, white linens and rich textures create an immediate sense of calmness.

Text by the Architects: Perched on the banks of the Buffels River, close to its mouth in Pringle Bay – a small coastal town less than 100km from Cape Town, South Africa – this house has an easy living permanence that shakes off the salty winds and lets in the sun and the natural beauty of the surrounding indigenous vegetation and mountain valley.
