Spectacular Atlantic Seaboard Showpiece by SAOTA

Nestled in the side of Lion’s Head, overlooking the idyllic blue waters of Cape Town’s Bantry Bay, you’ll find this spectacular modern house by SAOTA. The architects had there marching orders, the client desired a showpiece yet wanted a sanctuary that enhanced their family lifestyle. The result couldn’t have been more spot on. While the house is dynamically showy in all the right places, it has a softer, less boastful side in its low key interior spaces. Natural and organic materials can be found throughout the home, creating a rich textural appeal among a minimalist interior design. Expanses of concrete were used both inside and out, but are naturally softened and warmed by rich woods and finishes and natural light flooding through expansive glass ceilings and walls. This is certainly a modern house we could feel right at home in, how about you?

An exterior view of the coastal home shows a sharp-edged roofline jutting out over a meticulously manicured lawn.

The west facing pool is oriented with expansive views of the vivid blue waters of the sea below.

Minimal furnishings keep the house’s interior simplistic and neutral allowing the textures and finishes to set the mood in a natural and organic way.

The expansive master bedroom suite boasts a large office space with media center set off to its side thus keeping the sleeping quarters quite and calming.

The interior staircase is left open to the glass ceiling beyond allowing natural light to flood the space with light and warmth.

The open floor plan living/dining space is highlighted by a dynamic rich wood ceiling and an expanse of glass allowing unobstructed views of the courtyard beyond.
