Designed around a beautiful mature oak tree, defining the entrance courtyard. The single storey living room has a flat planted roof that extends a natural garden in front of the main bedroom above. The living room, playroom and double volume dining room all open onto a planted courtyard, introducing a green belt into the heart of the house. A central double volume space is crossed by a bridge that joins a study and pyjama lounge, forming a dramatic transparent feature of the house that brings in light, views and greenery from all sides. A dining room flows onto its own covered patio, most suitable for use in the summer. The living and family rooms are focused on the garden and on covered outdoor entertainment areas, featuring the presence of magnificent tall trees. The first floor is secured by a concealed roller shutter door at the stair. The main bedroom is luxuriously sized and takes in mountain views. It flows through a his and hers dressing room into an expansive bathroom, with a deep sill window feature, which is provided with timber shutters to cast dappled light into the interior.
Each space appreciates views of the natural surroundings.

This home enjoys a generous driveway court and a striking entrance between a long Malmesbury shale stone wall and a tall off-shutter concrete stairwell. On entering, the open glass façade presents a lush treed garden and pool area. A double volume dining integrates the second floor and opens up the centre of the house to the sky. The effect of three floating elements, bringing the outside in, is clearest from the dining area. A concrete stairwell has been designed to be flooded with sunlight from above. The kitchen, lounge and family rooms, all flow out to external covered patios. The kitchen courtyard is attached to a herb garden and the living room patio has a serene summer courtyard of more intimate proportions. The house is characterized by a strong inside-outside flow and a blurring of boundaries between inside and out. The first floor bedrooms are grouped around a double volume space and a ‘pyjama lounge’, all isolated from the ground floor by a security shutter. The pyjama lounge and study room both convert passage spaces into useful family oriented areas. The main bedroom is luxuriously sized and has a daybed with mountain views and its own secluded balcony. A large dressing room with extensive cupboards flows onto an en-suite bathroom with large shower, and a screened patio, featuring an outdoor shower with unparalleled views of the mountain.

AVA RESIDENCE | 23
Situated on the inner edge of the Estate, with extensive grounds, this home has both tranquility and a sense of seclusion. Entrance is through a quiet, natural courtyard, with an overhead entrance canopy. Emerging out of the entrance, a resident sees straight through the open plan dining/lounge area, over the covered patio and pool and into the extensive garden and beyond, enjoying rolling lawns surrounded by mature trees. The open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area, flow onto a covered patio on the one side and onto a private kitchen courtyard on the other side. The family room is somewhat secluded, and has its own braai patio, with a well sized natural walled courtyard, well protected from the sun in summer. At the centre of the house, a large double volume space is traversed by a bridge and overlooked by the family lounge and study. Expansive double volume windows allow in light and views.
A roomy kitchen flows off the double volume area and is both light and airy, while remaining ultimately functional.

Situated in the quiet, most secluded corner of the estate, this home is surrounded by established trees flowing onto a natural garden, offering its own unique experience of nature and a true sense of calm and tranquility. A large drive court leads into a long, naturally planted entrance courtyard ending in a covered entrance with a large timber front door. Turning at the entrance, a resident experiences views through the kitchen courtyard on the one side, right through to the garden on the other side. The large double volume off the entrance dramatises the openness and immerses the home into the greenery that surrounds it. The kitchen, dining, lounge and the covered lounge patio form a long open plan area which flows into nature on both ends. The covered lounge patio is suspended above the ground and floats over the garden below. Ground floor living spaces are grouped around a compact lawn, which terraces down to the garden, giving this house a more natural character. The braai patio is located near to the pool, which projects out of the ground and has views over the garden. A sculptural stair and screen separate the dining room from the family room and lead up into a study which has views over the entrance court and a vista beyond to the mountains. The views from the large main bedroom and from the main en-suite bathroom are exquisite while also granting special views of the garden below. The guest and children’s bedrooms are generously sized and all have views of the surroundings, as well as exposure to sunlight, and their own private balconies.
