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. The architecture is clean and robust. It has a gravitas to it. The materials are hard wearing and resistant to the tough coastal climate and its winds that periodically sweep the bay. The planning of this SAOTA-designed family holiday home is nuanced and sophisticated, built to fully grasp the daily rituals of holiday living. The individual open-plan rooms flow seamlessly, forming one extended living zone and central space. The welcoming kitchen and lounge area is at the centre, with a sofa in the kitchen large enough to seat the entire family. The living rooms have a direct relationship and the flow between these spaces add a unique dynamic to the house. A sense of mystery is created through the various spaces glimpsing each other. Behind the scenes, the home is technologically enhanced with the latest audio lighting and systems that can be automate
Pringle Bay is a unique and charming small coastal village situated in a World Biosphere Reserve. It is also situated on the famous Whale Coast Route and surrounded by mountains on three sides while overlooking the Ocean with Cape Point in the distance. It abounds with wildlife and beautiful flora and is part of the Sixth Floral Kingdom of the planet. The silver beaches are pristine and spotless and the air is clean and unpolluted. There is a small lagoon with clear and warm water where the Buffels River enters the sea. Restaurants are within a three minutes’ walk from each other and just 10 minutes to the penguin colony or famous Harald Porter Botanical Gardens, 20 minutes to a variety of golf courses and a day spa, 45 minutes to the finest wine estates.
