This home embraces the beautiful natural landscape provided by the slopes of Table Mountain, Lion’s Head, and Signal Hill. Situated in the center of the City Bowl’s curvature between Devil’s Peak and Signal Hill, the building’s site offers expansive views of the city and the surrounding metropolitan area.
Some of the challenges presented by the site were negotiating the sloping terrain leading from the lower cable car slopes into Table Mountain National Park with a coherent spatial flow
Furthermore, mediating environmental factors while maximizing and framing the panoramic views was also of importance.
The building is defined by its relationship to the landscape, in some instances revealing glimpses of the natural setting, while in others, blurring the definition of interior and exterior spaces by opening up the interior spaces completely to the surroundings.
