SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE/DESIGN
Custodians of the land
The dream of the owners was to realize a project that is sustainable​.​ For them, the prevailing identity of the site lay in its location of the ‘Cape Floral Kingdom’ and that they were committed to being custodians of that land. The iconic views of the Helderberg, and the indigenous gardens all contribute layers to the concept which was ultimately to pay tribute to the natural beauty that exists in the region.
