Cape Town-based studio SAOTA – Stefan Antoni Olmesdahl Truen Architects has designed the Cove 6 project.
Completed in 2006, this contemporary vacation home is nestled in the cliff-top estate “The Cove” near Knysna, a town in the Western Cape Province of South Africa.
Cove 6 by SAOTA and Antoni Associates:
“The owner’s brief was to design a house inspired by its indigenous fynbos surroundings, which is part of the recently established The Cove, a Private Estate, with the Pezula Golf Estate as backdrop. The site, located on an exposed cliff edge overlooking a rocky peninsula, is perched above a dramatic seascape with spectacular views. The site is 1 of 6 exclusive use areas permitted on this reserve. Its owner’s, a well-traveled couple who live in the United Kingdom, wanted a house with seamless indoor-outdoor living for summer holiday retreats. The house had to take maximum advantage of the spectacular views and surrounding landscape.
