Location
Paarl, Western Cape, South Africa
Located in Paarl, the house reinterprets regional vernacular architecture through a contemporary lens. A series of articulated gabled volumes break down the overall mass, allowing the home to sit comfortably within its suburban context while referencing the agricultural heritage of the area.
A restrained palette of plaster, timber, stone, concrete, and metal grounds the house in its landscape, while carefully positioned glazing maximizes natural light, views, and cross-ventilation. Environmental responsiveness, material honesty, and clarity of form underpin the design, resulting in a calm, contextual home that feels both rooted and contemporary.
