Designer Notes
Nestled in the heart of Constantia, Cape Town, this property offers panoramic views of Table Mountain and the lush Constantia wine farms. The estate comprises three modern and stylish residences designed for a multi-generational family. The parents’ home, 515m² in size, serves as the central dwelling, while the two daughters and their families each occupy separate homes of 499m² and 457m² respectively. The houses are arranged to foster a sense of community while maintaining privacy and independence for each family.
The design draws inspiration from the scenic location, incorporating large glass facades and outdoor living spaces that open up to sweeping views. Natural light and cross-ventilation are maximized throughout each home, creating a seamless blend between indoor and outdoor living. The spacious interiors feature clean lines, modern finishes, and a neutral color palette, offering a calm, sophisticated atmosphere.
At the heart of the property lies a professionally landscaped garden, curated by a landscape architect, which forms a peaceful oasis. The space includes a luxurious pool and a paddle court, ideal for both relaxation and entertainment. The estate’s layout encourages interaction among family members while offering tranquil retreats for quiet moments.
This stylish environment is perfect for hosting guests, with each home offering spacious living areas, patios, and outdoor dining spaces that overlook the beautifully manicured gardens and surrounding landscape.
