In 2020, we were approached by a pro surfers' architect to design a seasonal home for the sportstar and his family in a coastal town in South Africa. We worked collaboratively with architects, Eyoh Design, and the client in the initial stages of the project.

We designed a home with two north facing wings. The bedrooms are housed in a more private wing, while the second wing contains all the living spaces. These two annexes create an  internal courtyard, which can be extended to include a garden to the back of the property using movable screens.

Our responsibilities also included the municipal submission and approval process, ensuring that all was compliant, and assisting the client in choosing all the materials and fittings for their new beach home. The project was managed in its entirety by our team, from contractor and subcontractor selection and coordination, all the way through to project close out and handover. This start to finish process ensured a great end result.
