PROJECT:
FERNWOOD RESIDENTIAL RENOVATION - NEWLANDS, CAPE TOWN

YEAR: 2025

PROJECT OUTLINE:
UPPER FLOOR RENOVATION, FERNWOOD, CAPE TOWN

OVERVIEW:
A contemporary residence of unique architectural styling, nestled against the eastern flank of Devil's Peak in Newlands, Cape Town, struggled with appalling insulation and draftiness on the upper storey. The owners needed to reduce the extent of glazing that contributed to the "hot box” or "freezer” conditions in the space, whilst keeping, or even enhancing the views up towards the mountain. An all-new set of facades consisting of double-glazed slot windows was designed to compliment the architectural style of the house. The new window configurations reduce glare, allow for more effective internal screening (blinds), and effectively frame specific, featured views.

Specifications: 90 sq.m, 2 bedroom upper floor, with exposed rafters, new insulated ceilings, and new window configurations and glazing. New fibre-cement plank cladding to all exterior walls. All new fixtures and finishes throughout, with upgraded electrical installation and flooring.

ST FRANCIS BAY NEW BEACH HOUSE
PROPOSED NEW RESIDENCE - ST FRANCIS BAY, EASTERN CAPE

PROJECT OUTLINE:
PROPOSED NEW BEACH HOUSE FOR OPEN PLOT IN ST FRANCIS BAY, EASTERN CAPE

YEAR: 2024

OVERVIEW:
Clients wanted a generous residence (to sleep at least 12), with contemporary styling and finishes, that took advantage of two significant Indian Ocean views whilst responding to the site’s slope and structural height restrictions. The new residence would fall within an estate with strict design guidelines established in the 1990s, and the concept sought to stick to those rules, but in a fresh, 21st century way.

Specifications: 5 bedrooms + 5 en-suites, large kitchen with separate scullery, opening out to generous outdoor dining, main living room with outdoor living areas, indoor - outdoor ease of movement, lap pool, fire pit, guest cloakroom, generous covered patio with braai, utility areas, & 3 vehicle garage with workshop. Feature stone wall finishes, black & charcoal colour palette and 45 degree roof slope as defined by estate guidelines, cement screed floors, and exposed beams and rafters throughout.

PROJECT OUTLINE:
COMPLETE RESIDENTIAL RENOVATION WITH ALL NEW UPPER FLOOR ADDITION.

YEAR: 2023

OVERVIEW:
The owner of this sturdy home built in the 1980s, wanted to completely reimagine the look, feel, and scope of the house. A complete rearrangement of the ground floor layout was proposed, with an all new upper floor for the main bedroom suite, and a new roof profile and fenestration for the entire building. The project proceeded well into the formal planning application phase before being suspended when the owner had the opportunity to acquire an alternative residence that was too well-priced to pass up. So this one remains a dream build…

Specifications: 400 sq.m, 5 bedroom residence, with new double garage, utility spaces, guest accommodation, multiple open-plan living and entertainment spaces, and all new first floor addition with main bedroom, dressing room, en-suite, private lounge, and sun terrace.

New exposed-rafter roof configuration with clerestory windows, solar electrical panels, and pool heating.

All new fixtures, finishes, electrical, and home automation installations.
