The brief

A newly built house on a working vineyard, handed over as a shell with the views already earned by the architecture. The brief was everything after that: the finishes, the joinery, the furniture, the art, the garden and the two buildings that were not on the original drawings.

What we did

The interiors were held to a quiet palette so that nothing competes with what is outside the glass: plaster, oak, travertine and stone, with the art chosen last and hung to be seen from the doorway rather than from the sofa.

A tasting room was built with a full height wine wall and a stone table that opens onto the vineyard, and the cellar below was fitted out for the estate's own wine.

In the garden, a lap pool was set along the contour, a sauna and plunge pool pavilion was built into a dry stone retaining wall, and the terraces were planted in fynbos and olives that hold the slope and need very little water.
