Here’s just two of their current residential options, to take a peek at what else is available, see here.
27 Willow Road – Development in Constantia
Situated on a quiet street in Constantia, this new cubist-inspired modern development takes creativity to a new level. Incorporating interesting square shapes and angles, the beautiful well designed private homes come alive with charm, intrigue, and character, their edgy aesthetic compliments the meeting of indoor and outdoor spaces. A secure envelope blurs the boundaries between nature and the built environment.
Designed by Gerd Weideman Architects, this development showcases a meticulous attention to detail and unyielding craftsmanship. The homes incorporate exposed joinery, decorative woodwork, and the extensive use of natural materials, creating an alluring and inviting atmosphere – here the element of surprise is encapsulated in brick, glass, and mortar.
“Design-wise we have pushed boundaries. Featuring protruding cubes, two first floor bedrooms extend beyond the ground floor footprint, adding gravitas to the elevation along Willow Road. Whimsically, the cube-shaped exterior defies convention, merging the development with the surrounding elements.”
With the Constantia Valley as a cosmopolitan nexus of worlds, life here offers a mélange of urban delights accentuated by laidback countryside pursuits.
The design
Externally, the refined finishes encompass charcoal-coloured packed slate, KlipLok cladding that dramatically exaggerates the roofing, bold steel balustrades accentuating the dark exterior palette, and black pergolas that create a bridge between the interior and outdoors.
Each home features its own private swimming pool with surrounding entertainment area and includes captivating views of the enfolding mountains.
Interesting construction facts
• Concrete beams ensconced within the main rectangular shape of the building from foundation to roof achieve flexibility in design, stepping the structure into an L-shape.
• External columns at the rear of each residence allows the structure continuation, providing the outdoor patio with shade overlooking the gardens and private swimming
pools.
The aesthetic goal of this project was simple: three luxuriant homes that place a strong emphasis on a sumptuous connection to nature.
The accommodation
The bold exterior appeal continues inside. Following the enchanting Bauhaus philosophy – that art, decorative art, and architecture should match functionality – clean lines, geometric form, and natural materials pervade. The ground storey of each home consists of an open-plan dining room, lounge area, guest lavatory, and spacious modern kitchen featuring Siemens appliances with added storeroom, pantry, scullery, laundry, and courtyard. Also featured is a ground floor bedroom that can double as a study.
The first storey contains a pajama lounge which leads to the three bedrooms each featuring en-suite bathrooms – with the primary bedroom boasting a dressing area and view terrace. The interior achieves intentional restraint in a lifestyle of elegant simplicity. The exterior reiterates this, featuring lush, waterproofed planters, landscaped gardens, and automated irrigation.
“These residences are perfect for urban families seeking an idyllic zen-style retreat, embraced by the warmth of the chosen materials while the sophisticated design elevates your lifestyle.”
