Silver Bay House designed by SAOTA and Interiors practice Antoni Associates, creates a holiday home for a young family that could be enjoyed by an extended circle of friends and family. This home located on the western coastline of South Africa on the Shelley point residential community. It wraps a central courtyard while featuring wide stunning views out to the beach and ocean. Also, Silver Bay house offers an internal environment that maximized the connection with the view, minimized views on neighboring buildings and created sunny wind free outdoor living space.

The house is organized with living spaces on the upper ground level, while bedroom and a playroom is placed in the basement below. Also, the sliding glass doors links the sheltered pool area directly with the kitchen, dining room, and living room, bathroom. The arrangement also responds to the site’s south-easterly winds and sun exposure from the north, by placing a sheltered pool courtyard in direct contact with the interiors. Once inside, the interior is a sophisticated eclectic mix of easy living, laid-back, comfortable and robust furniture. Without a doubt, combined by endless design of the home and stunning views to the ocean, Silver Bay house is ideal place to live and enjoy the time of the family and circle friends together.

Silver Bay House with Stunning Ocean views in South Afica by SAOTA — The house sits above an open beach on the western coast of South Africa.

The upper floor is as a single space holding the pool courtyard, an elevated entrance hall, a kitchen with a large table and a dining and living space on the East edge. The L-shaped space create distinctly different spaces. A conical flue made from Corten steel forms a visual element around which the spaces pivot. The rusted surface reflects the coastal environment.

In addition to this, the main entry is located on the upper side of the site.

The thatched roof is supported on a perimeter I-beam. Besides, the timber tie beams of the thatched roof are replaced by steel tie rods that allow the open volume of the roof to form the top of the space. The woven thatching grass and the latter forming a counterpoint to the granite floors.

The bedroom and play room are in the basement.
